By signing this application you acknowledge that you are aware that if you cannot keep the Border Terrier you agree that it MUST be returned to the Border Terrier Rescue Group.
You will be asked to make a financial donation to the Border Terrier Rescue Group to defray the expenses of rescuing the dog, such as vet care, grooming and shelter fees? (This may be up to $300.) Home visits will be conducted prior and following an adoption to ensure the safe keeping of the dog. The Border Terrier Rescue Group reserves the right to decline adoption or reclaim any dog that in our judgment appears abused, unkempt or unsafe or non-payment of adoption fee at any time. Thanks for your help and interest in placing a homeless Border Terrier.

I certify that the information provided on this form is true and accurate. I am physically, emotionally and financially able to care for a Border Terrier. I understand that proper food and veterinarian care can be costly and I am able to meet these requirements.
