If adopting a puppy: I understand that puppies require a series of booster vaccinations before they can walk outdoors safely. A basic immunity is reached based on this vaccination schedule given in the first year: 3 x 8-in-1 vaccination, 1x rabies. I understand that vaccinations are the adopter’s responsibility and I will forward proof to the assigned adoption staff member of ACT after every given vaccination shot. *
If not already done, I will have the dog spayed/neutered by 6 months of age (around the age of 5.5 months). I will take the dog to a proper vet for neutering and I will immediately forward proof to the assigned adoption staff member of ACT. I understand that failure to comply with this requirement (even after being reminded several times by ACT's adoption staff) will result in the immediate return of the dog to ACT. *
Judy and Sean are dedicated to improving the health, happiness, and longevity of companion animals by promoting a natural, healthy diet consisting of raw meat, bones, organ meat, and optional supplements. Studies now show that pets live longer and are far less likely to suffer from cancer if fed a raw diet. Are you prepared to feed your dog a healthy, raw diet? *

What might cause you to return the dog to us? *
How did you find out about us? *
If there's anything else you would like to tell or ask us, please do so here!
I hereby certify that the answers I have given are correct and not misleading in any way. *
