I am 18 years of age or older.

The adoption of an animal should never be impulsive, but rather a well thought-out decision made by the entire family or household and always with the best interest of the animal in mind. The goal of PAWS of Coronado, the City of Coronado and the Coronado Animal Care Facility is to place animals into permanent, responsible homes. I certify that the information given on this application is true and correct. If I am approved to adopt an animal, I agree to be responsible for providing proper shelter, food, water, exercise, medical care and humane treatment at all times. I understand that failure to comply with any of the requirements will result in confiscation of adopted animal.

I recognize that animals may act in an unpredictable manner, an interaction may be dangerous to people and/or animals and may cause injuries or illness, and I accept those risks and dangers. I waive any claims that I or any of the minors in my household may have against PAWS of Coronado, the City of Coronado or the Animal Care Facility or any of their respective employees, agents or volunteers arising from the adoption of an animal or the behavior of the animal, including the animal’s interactions with me, other people or other animals. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless PAWS of Coronado, the City of Coronado and the Animal Care Facility and their respective employees, agents and volunteers from and against any and all such claims arising from the adoption of an animal or the animal’s behavior, whether caused by negligence or otherwise. I also understand that no City employee or agent is authorized to modify this waiver. I have personally read and understand this waiver.
