Dog's MatchDog Name

MatchDog renames our dogs once they come under our care; if we have any shelter or veterinary records previous to them becoming a MatchDog those records may reflect a different name.

Dog's Name

Breed

We can never be certain of a dog's breed and make no guarantees in its regard- only a DNA test can tell us that.

Age

MatchDog Rescue does not age our dogs; dogs are aged by a licensed veterinarian' It is very common for different veterinarians to age dogs differently-some even dramatically. MatchDog Rescue will not be responsible for discrepancies between different veterinarians.

Sex

MaleFemale

Color

If not already altered, your MatchDog must be spayed/neutered within 6 months (180 days) of the date of adoption. WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO WAIT AT LEAST 30 DAYS POST ADOPTION TO HAVE YOUR MATCHDOG ALTERED (this gives you and your MatchDog a chance to bond before adding additional stressors).

A FULLY REFUNDABLE SPAY/NEUTER DEPOSIT OF $125.00 WILL BE ADDED ON TOP OF THE ADOPTION FEE FOR THOSE DOGS WHICH ARE NOT ALREADY ALTERED. We recommend you research low-cost spay/neuter clinics or programs in your area. Once your MatchDog is altered please use this link to claim your spay/neuter deposit back: https://petstablished.com/petlover/general_form/29919

Veterinarians vary widely in their opinion on when a dog should be altered. At MatchDog, we allow 180 days post-adoption in order to qualify for the spay/neuter reimbursement. This decision was made after consultation with a number of local veterinarians. Your vet's preference may differ and you are free to decide for yourself when the appropriate time to alter your pet is, however if the alteration occurs more than 180 days post-adoption MDR will not offer any reimbursement for the procedure.

Please consult your E-mag for more information

By checking "I understand the spay/neuter requirement" below you are confirming that you have read and understood the above.

Veterinary Care Contract - First Seven Days Post Adoption PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ EACH PORTION OF THIS FORM

In order for a MatchDog to travel across state lines we require a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. Our MatchDogs are issued health certificates usually within 14 days of their journey to New Jersey stating they are healthy and vaccinated in accordance with New Jersey regulations.

*****All MatchDogs are dewormed and vaccinated for distemper, rabies, and bordetella (as appropriate for age) during their period of quarantine in MatchDog's care.

*****MatchDogs are also treated for other common parasites and medical issues as necessary

*****All MatchDogs are Heartworm tested (if over 4 months of age prior to adoption).

*****MatchDog recommends that all newly adopted MatchDogs receive a wellness checkup by a licensed veterinarian of your choice within 7 days of adoption.

*****Please note that once your adoption is completed, any additional veterinary costs or damages that may be incurred are your responsibility and will not be reimbursed.

****If any test, procedure or medication is given or prescribed to your pet at a well check without MatchDog Rescue's concurrence, MatchDog WILL NOT be responsible for any financial assistance.

****If your MatchDog is admitted for a serious or life-threatening condition in the first seven days post-adoption MatchDog Rescue may offer a sum up to but not exceeding the adoption donation amount. You may also be offered the option to return your pet to MatchDog Rescue for a full refund once the illness has been determined to be a pre-existing condition.
