1. I accept the adoption of the animal described below from Hog Heaven Rescue Farm, Inc. I agree with Hog Heavens assessment that the animal is in good health.  I do understand, however, that there are no expressed or implied guarantees relative to the health or temperament of the animal.

3. The animal described below is to be a pet for my immediate family and myself. I agree to notify Hog Heaven if the animal is moved from the location below and will send a photo once a year of the animal & fill out the questionnaire we mail out annually. If the animal is a male I agree to have him castrated as soon as physically possible. Breeding of any female animal adopted is NOT permitted

5. I understand that barbed wire fencing is NOT permitted to contain any animal adopted from Hog Heaven Rescue Farm Inc and I will adhere to this policy for the safety of the animal.
6. I am aware of the following adoption fees and agree to make payment to Hog Heaven Rescue Farm, Inc the full amount for the animal being adopted in cash or money order. Adoption fees are based on the soundness of the animal, the training of the animal,  and a partial reimbursement of expenses HHRF has incurred to train or rehabilitate the animal. The adoption fee for this particular animal is; $________, Companion animals which are horses that cannot be ridden have a set adoption fee of $100. Goats and sheep also have a set fee of $60.00. I am also aware and agree, if for any reason the animal is returned to Hog Heaven Rescue Farm, Inc that I will NOT receive any portion of the adoption fee. This NO REFUND policy is due to the fact that the fee you paid helps offset the cost of other animals in need, and/or will be used to help care for the returned animal until he or she finds a new home. 
7. I have read and understand the foregoing and voluntarily sign this Animal Adoption Agreement, which is a legal binding agreement. If I do not adhere to this agreement in any portion, I will also be responsible for any and all costs regarding legal representation including Hog Heavens representation in getting the said animal returned to Hog Heaven Rescue Farm, Inc. 

      I agree to the terms set forth in this agreement:

Due to the overwhelming number of hoofed animals available out there, we ask that you respect the NON Breeding policy. We believe in breeding to improve a breed, but not breeding just for the sake of creating more animals. Please consider adoption to breeding in the future.

Thank you for adopting and supporting our cause.

(NOTE; if you are approved you will be required to initial and sign a hard copy of this agreement. We will also  require your SS number and a copy of your drivers licence.)
