Upon finalizing the adoption, we retain the right to perform unannounced periodic site checks on the condition of the horse and the stable. Do you agree to this condition (mandatory)?

 

Additionally, we retain co-ownership of all equines adopted from Friends of Arabian Horses Rescue. If the horse came to us with registration papers, said papers will be retained by us to help insure the safety and well being of the horse. This is due to the high volume of horses which are sent back into abusive situations, neglected or sent back to auction. Under this clause, we may unilaterally seize the horse upon our determination that said horse is not being properly cared for, including neglect, physical abuse or mental abuse. If for any reason you are unable to continue your possession of the horse, it must be returned directly to Friends of Arabian Horses Rescue and no refunds will be given for either the Adoption Fee or any expenses incurred since adoption. If a horse adopted to you by us is found to have been abused or neglected, we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law following our recovery of the animal. If a horse adopted to you by us is found to have been sold, we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law for theft. You must agree to these conditions prior to the adoption becoming final, and your signature, below, is proof of such agreement.

Please sign, date and return to Friends of Arabian Horses Rescue:
