If a Dalmatian is placed with me/us, I/we agree to cooperate with Dalmatian Rescue of Colorado, Inc. (DRCI) in its attempt to provide a smooth adoption. I also agree to contact DRCI about problems that might arise in the future. Should the dog need to be placed, or euthanized (prior to normal old age), I will contact DRCI first to determine whether the dog might be a candidate for placement elsewhere.

I agree to these terms
   
Every reasonable effort is made to screen each Dalmatian for health and temperament problems before making the dog available for adoption through DRCI. However, DRCI, its officers, board of directors, and agents cannot guarantee the health or temperament of the Dalmatians available for adoption other than what is known at the time of adoption. DRCI assumes no liability for any problems arising from an adopted Dalmatian in the future.

I agree to these terms
   
For each Dalmatian adopted we request a donation to cover actual expenses incurred, or a minimum of $150, payable at the time of adoption.

I agree to these terms
