Adoption Agreement:
The pet will be rehomed to you on a two-week trial period and can be returned to Maggie’s
Rescue Co-Operative Ltd if the pet is deemed unsuitable. You understand that a member of
Maggie’s Rescue Co-Operative Ltd may inspect your premises to ensure the pet will be housed in
safe and secure surroundings pre-adoption and may visit during the two-week trial period.
You agree to contact Maggie’s Rescue Co-operative Ltd immediately should any problems arise
during the two-week trial, this includes the pet becoming lost or if you have any health or
behavioural concerns. You agree to ensure that the Maggie’s Rescue ID tag is worn by your pet at
all times during the two-week trial period.
In the event that the pet requires medical attention during the two-week trial period, you agree to
contact Maggie’s Rescue Co-Operative Ltd immediately. Any Veterinary costs incurred by you
will not be refunded unless the pet is treated by our nominated veterinary practice.
If at any time during or after the two-week trial period, Maggie’s Rescue Co-Operative Ltd
becomes aware that the pet is being mistreated or is deemed to be at risk, Maggie’s Rescue CoOperative Ltd may seize that pet without notice. The pet will only be returned to the adopter after
Maggie’s Rescue Co-Operative Ltd considers the situation resolved and the pet faces no further
threat. If Maggie’s Rescue Co-Operative Ltd feels the situation cannot be resolved then they may
list the pet for rehoming and you will receive no money or refunds. Cont. overleaf
