All of the above information which I have provided is true and complete.    Should an unneutered or unspayed dog or cat be placed with me, I agree to have it neutered or spayed by such date agreed to by me and a Gemini Farm representative.    At that time I will forward proof of spay/neuter to Gemini Farm.    I understand that under certain circumstances there will be a spay/neuter refund which will be discussed and arranged for at the time of adoption.

I will provide it with quality food, water, shelter, training, affection and medical care.   I understand that Gemini Farm is a referral service and is not responsible for the accuracy of the information received about the habits, temperament or physical condition of the animal available for adoption.    I understand that it is my responsibility to evaluate the pet for myself before agreeing to adopt it.    I am in full agreement with the terms of this adoption.    Gemini Farm shall not be liable for, and is hereby relieved from, all liability for any damage, expenses, causes or action, fines, suits, demands, judgments or claims of any nature whatsoever arising from or by reason of any damage to property or injury to any persons caused in whole or in part by the pet placed in your home.   I hereby accept and assume such liability and agree to protect, indemnify, and hold Gemini Farm harmless from and against all of the aforesaid.    Submitting this form constitutes your permission for us to check references.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, TO REFUSE ANY APPLICANT FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER.
