It is strictly against Tennessee Tails Rescue’s policy to let a pet leave our care without first being spayed or neutered. The only exception to the policy is in the case of puppies/kittens which are too young to undergo surgery before they are adopted. In that case, this Spay/Neuter Agreement is incorporated by this reference into our standard Adoption Contract. Permanent adoption of this pet is contingent upon your compliance with this agreement. Proof of spay/neuter must be received by T.T.R. within seven (7) days after the surgery. In the event that the pet’s health does not allow this agreement to be honored by the agreed-upon date, T.T.R. must be provided with a written statement from your veterinarian that this pet is not yet in physical or emotional condition for surgery. The spay/neuter deadline date specified below will be amended to the date your veterinarian deems appropriate and safe. All other terms and conditions of the Adoption Contract and this Addendum will remain in full force and effect. It is the responsibility of adopter, not the veterinarian, to ensure that T.T.R. has received verification that the surgery has been performed. Failure to comply with this agreement by the date below, unless otherwise agreed to in writing, will be considered a breach of the Adoption Contract, and adopter agrees to transport this pet back to Tennessee Tails Rescue within five (5) days. It is understood and agreed that the adopter will not be entitled to a refund of the adoption fee. By my signature below, I agree to have this pet spayed/neutered by no later than . I understand that this spay/neuter agreement is a commitment that this pet will not produce a litter of puppies/kittens, either as purposely bred or by accidental breeding. I also agree that should pet not be altered I will return the pet as agreed above and without refund of my adoption fee.
