By participating in the Doggy Daycation program, I agree to the following:
I, acknowledge and agree that RARE cannot and does not make any representations or warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the temperament, health, habits or background of any animal(s) that may be assigned to me, ALL OF WHICH WARRANTIES ARE DISCLAIMED, and that such animal(s)’ future actions towards me, my family, and other persons may be unpredictable because animals, like people, have their own personalities and traits. I understand that animals may carry any number of zoonotic diseases (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and people), and that they may, or may not, show symptoms of those illnesses. Therefore, I HEREBY RELEASE RARE and its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from all claims of injury, illness, property damage, loss, expense, or liability which the foster animal(s) may cause (directly or indirectly) me, my family members, or my pets.
• I agree that if I volunteer to transport any RARE animal(s) in my personal vehicle for any purpose, I will 1) maintain at least the State-required minimum amounts of automobile insurance on the vehicle, and 2) release, indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any claims arising from and/or related in any way to such animal’s presence in my vehicle.
• I acknowledge and understand that I am a volunteer of RARE. I am not eligible for RARE Workers’ Compensation or any other type of compensation or employee benefit in connection with my volunteer activities.
• By using the RARE tags or the #dogdaycation hashtag in the images and other content I post on my social media accounts related to my volunteer activities, I hereby grant RARE a non-exclusive, fully paid, worldwide, perpetual license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, and reproduce my photographs, name, and likeness solely for marketing and promotional purposes.
• I certify that I am 18 years of age or older.
• I have received and read RARE’s current version of the Doggy Daycation Manual and agree to abide by its requirements and guidelines. Further, I specifically agree to the following:
1. To care for and treat humanely any dog given to me.
2. To keep the dog on leash unless confined in my home or securely fenced yard.
3. To use reasonable care to ensure the safety and well-being of the dog in my care, the safety of other dogs, and the people the dog encounters.
4. To contact RARE if the dog exhibits symptoms that indicate an illness/injury.
5. To keep the dog under my direct supervision at all times during the volunteer activity. 6. To immediately notify RARE in the event of a missing or injured dog, if the dog bites any person or animal, or any other injury or accident that I witness or experience resulting from my volunteer activities.
7. That all dogs are the property of RARE and shall not be sold, given away, or adopted out without prior approval of RARE authorized personnel.
8. To provide any change of my personal information, such as name, address, or phone number.
9. I agree to return the dog at the end of the time agreed upon with RARE at time of pickup.
• I understand that this Doggy Daycation Volunteer Agreement and Release is binding on my heirs, assigns and legal representatives. This Doggy Daycation Volunteer Agreement and Release form is executed by me voluntarily and without reliance upon any representation by any person.
• My signature to this volunteer liability release attests to my intent to hold harmless and release from all liability Rural Animal Rescue Effort (RARE) or any of its past, present or future Officers, agents, volunteers, employees or assigns, from all acts which are related to the normal performance of required and implied duties.
