Death Row Pets

Rescue Adoption Form


 

From Hudson Valley, NY Lost Pet Alert.Com


Notice-LostPetAlert.Com, & its owner Tactical Marketing Unlimited functions only as an advertiser and a facilitator in the placement of Death Row Pets as a service to our community, our neighbors and the animal friends who share our world. By accepting a Death Row pet or any animal placement you accept the risks that come from that animal including possibly the effects of abuse by prior owners. This includes the risk of being bitten, clawed, mauled and even killed in the right/wrong circumstances. We accept no responsibility other then offering possible animals needing placement. The choice and the responsibility are yours and your alone. When accepting a pet, particularly a formerly abused pet considerable time and effort and work must be expended to build a bond of trust. Pets are social and desire considerable human interaction. They are not a substitute baby sitter for the TV. They are animals that require care, supervision and discipline. You must exercise care and caution when in their company or when they are in the company of others.
