When rehoming a pet, having a contract is crucial for the well-being of both the animal and its new owner.
Here is why:
✅ Clear Expectations: A contract outlines the responsibilities of both parties, ensuring everyone understands the pet’s care needs and future commitments.
✅ Legal Protection: It helps protect both the pet and the owner by legally binding the terms of the adoption or rehoming process, preventing misunderstandings or disputes.
✅ Accountability: The contract can specify follow-up visits, giving both the previous and new owner peace of mind about the pet’s future.
✅ Prevents Overcrowding: It can include clauses preventing the pet from being rehomed again without prior agreement, ensuring the animal remains in a stable environment.
✅ Health and Safety: It may include health history, dietary needs, and medical information to ensure the new owner provides the necessary care.
