PLEDGE FOR ADOPTERS
I pledge to make a reasonable commitment
of time and effort and to make appropriate
lifestyle changes so this relationship works.

I pledge to make sure my pet has proper
shelter, shade, dry ground, access to fresh
water, and at least an hour of loving
companionship and play each day.

I pledge to keep this pet indoors at night and
to include him in the activities of the
household while I am home.

I pledge to provide appropriate and timely
medical care for the life of my pet, to provide
her with the proper nutrition, to keep her
the proper weight, and to spay or neuter my pet.

I pledge to keep my pet groomed.

I pledge to give him ample aerobic exercise
daily and make sure that at least three times
a week he gets to run and play until he is tired.

I pledge to provide my pet with mental 
stimulation in the form of either play, 
interactive toys, fun training, or off territory
walks each day.

I pledge to provide my pet with enough
training so she will be welcome in my home
and community.

I pledge to provide a home in which my pet 
knows there are consistent rules on which I 
will insist.

I pledge to provide my pet with enough toys
to satisfy his urge to chew (dogs) or scratch (cats).

I pledge to get professional help if my pet
develops a behavior problem and to manage 
my pet carefully so as not to endanger
others.

I pledge to do everything I can to keep my
pet from becoming a nuisance.  She will not
run free out of my control.  I will seek help to
keep her quiet if she dusturbs my neighbors.  I 
will "scoop poop" so she will be welcome in
public.

I pledge that if I have to move for any reason,
I will commit to moving with my pet, like any 
other family member, even though finding
pet-friendly housing can take longer.
