Adoption Aggrement * I understand and agree that any dog adopted from DDR must be returned to DDR if I can no longer care for it, or if evidence of abuse or neglect is found and DDR requests the return of the dog, and that I will be bound to do so under DDR's Adoption Agreement. I understand and agree that dogs can be dangerous, particularly dogs that are new or unknown to me. I understand that while DDR makes every effort to minimize risk to applicants during the meet and greet, some risk of injury, infection, or infestation will always be present. Thank you! We will be in contact with you soon.
