Agreement
All of the information I have provided on this application is, to the best of my knowledge, true and complete. I understand falsifying answers on this application, or at any other time during the adoption process, will disqualify the household I represent from adopting a basset from Carolina Basset Hound Rescue (CBHR).
I understand that the processing of this application is contingent upon CBHR being able to find a volunteer who is willing to conduct the in-person home visit. If CBHR is not able to provide a volunteer for the home visit, the application fee will be refunded.
I understand that submitting an application is no guarantee that I will receive a CBHR basset. I further understand that placement of these bassets is at the sole discretion of CBHR and a reason for rejection of an application need not be given. Upon completion and signing of this application and release of any veterinary information, I wish to be considered for ownership of a CBHR basset.
I understand that if I do adopt a basset from CBHR, that should I choose not to keep the basset for any reason that it MUST be returned to CBHR. I also understand that if I do adopt a basset from CBHR, CBHR reserves the right to remove the basset from my home if it is believed that the basset is not being taken care of according to CBHR policies put forth.
I agree to the terms stated above.
