Any information obtained will not be released to other parties unless the individual authorizing the release gives us written consent.

Adoption Agreement
If for any reason you are unable to keep the dog in the future
the dog must be returned to MGPR for re-adoption
as opposed to being turned over to the pound, another rescue, sold, euthanized or re-homed through a classified ad.
MGPR reserves the right to repossess any adopted dog in the event that the rescue has reasons to believe the dog is being mistreated, or if information supplied on this form is discovered untruthful.
In signing below you are agreeing to the terms as outlined above. If the terms are not met, you the undersigned will be liable and legal action may be taken.
The following document outlines the terms of agreement when adopting a dog through MGPR. These terms provide the requirements of owning an MGPR dog.
ADOPTION
Please note that MGPR reserves the right to refuse adoption for any reason. Homes are selected based on the individual needs of the dog available for adoption, and homes for special needs dogs may be subject to an individualized adoption process.
Adoption fees will be returned minus a $25 administrative fee for any dog brought back into rescue within 14 days of adoption.
All
dogs, without exception must be returned to MGPR if the adoptive family is no longer interested in keeping the dog, regardless of the amount of time that has passed or legal action may be taken.
If the adoptive family has located new potential owners, they may not place the dog without written consent from a director of MGPR. Although MGPR will take into consideration the family’s wishes with regard to placement of the dog, MGPR has the final decision. The new family must meet the adoption criteria and a new adoption agreement must be signed
.
If the dog has been placed without consent from MGPR, the rescue reserves the right to re-possess the dog. Adopted dogs may not be surrendered to the pound, or any other rescue or animal facility. If an adopted dog is discovered in a rescue or other facility, any expenses incurred to return the dog back into the care of MGPR will be billed to the adoptive family on file with MGPR accordingly.
If it is discovered that any dog adopted from MGPR is being kept in neglectful conditions as determined by the Manitoba Animal Care Act, MGPR reserves the right to re-possess said dog at that time with no return of the adoption fee. This situation may or may not be discussed with the adoptive family prior to the seizure dependant on the condition of the adoptive pet. This also includes methods of training deemed cruel or inhumane by MGPR.
No MGPR dog may be kept outside on a permanent basis. All MGPR dogs are to be kept as house pets, unless otherwise specified by MGPR.
ADOPTION FEES
Adoption fees charged are at the discretion of MGPR.
Adoption fees are set out at $395 for puppies (under 6 months) and $345 for dogs (6 months +), unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by MGPR. All dog adoption fees include 3 Parvo/Distemper vaccines, rabies vaccines, deworming, microchip, tattoo, plus spay/neuter, Heartworm/Lyme disease tests when applicable, as well as other vet procedures as deemed necessary to ensure a healthy dog. If there are known health issues that have not been treated, MGPR will ensure potential adopters are aware of these and the choice to adopt is left to the adopter. These health issues may have been untreated for a variety of reasons including old age or the rescue was unable to afford the treatment. In all cases, dogs are treated for all illnesses that affect quality of life.
Fees are set accordingly in order to cover basic vetting. Any overages from adoption fees will go toward vet fees and costs incurred rescuing other dogs whose adoption fees do NOT cover their required vetting.
SPAYING AND NEUTERING
All dogs adopted through MGPR are required to be spayed or neutered at the age of six months unless otherwise specified. Puppies are scheduled for spaying or neutering by MGPR. The adoptive families are made aware of the spaying and neutering appointments and are required to bring their dog to those appointments. Failure to do so may result in the dog being repossessed by MGPR.
Adoption fees will
not
be returned if an unaltered dog is re-possessed by the MGPR.
HEALTH CONCERNS
All dogs adopted through MGPR are subject to vetting prior to adoption. In the event that any concerns arise with regards to the health of the adopted dog within 30 days of adoption, MGPR will provide assistance with vetting costs within the financial abilities of the rescue. In the event an adopted dog is found to be ill beyond the financial means of the rescue, the adoptive family may choose to manage the expenses or the dog may be surrendered back to the rescue with full adoption fees returned. Any vetting costs that result beyond 30 days of adoption will be the full responsibility of the adoptive family. This is of course null and void if the health issue is due directly to a cause that should have been prevented by the adoptive family or to external circumstances outside the rescue’s or adoptive home’s control. I.e. if the dog gets loose and is struck by a car, MGPR bears no responsibility ; if the dog is allowed to consume a poisonous substance, again, MGPR bears no responsibility as this was within the control of the adoptive family.
***ALL DOGS MUST BE PUT ON HEARTWORM PREVENTATIVE FROM JUNE UNTIL NOVEMBER. This is non-negotiable. Heartworm is a very real and very prevalent problem in Manitoba. It is a preventable illness. MGPR reserves the right to contact veterinary clinics to ensure all adopted dogs are on heartworm preventative. ***
LEGAL OBLIGATIONS
MGPR can not be held responsible for any damages that occur in adoptive homes, and is not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of, or relating to dogs adopted through MGPR, whether framed as a breach of warranty, upon any legal theory, in tort, contract, failure of essential purpose, or otherwise. MGPR makes no warranty, express or implied regarding any of the dogs in our rescue. Adoptive families are obligated to report any concerns to the rescue, and any dog adopted through MGPR will be accepted back into our rescue in the event they are not working out in their adoptive home.
All dogs adopted from MGPR within the city of Winnipeg must be licensed with the City of Winnipeg Animal Services.
