Additional comments:

I understand that dogs placed by Tornado Alley Bulldog Rescue (TABR) have been acquired, fed and boarded; have received necessary medical care and vaccinations; and have been tested to be free of heartworms and contagious disease at the expense of TABR volunteers, who receive no financial reimbursement for expenses. I understand that I will be asked to give a donation to Tornado Alley Bulldog Rescue to help offset the spaying/neutering and veterinary care of current and/or future rescued Bulldogs. The specific adoption amount is determined based on the individual dog's age, health, and rehabilitation requirements. I have answered all the above questions truthfully to the best of my knowledge. I have read a copy of the Adoption Contract, understand it and agree to abide by its terms should a Bulldog be available for placement in my home. I understand that if, for any reason, I can no longer care for or keep the dog, I must return it directly to a Rescue member, and I will sign all necessary papers for the surrender of the dog. I hereby make application to Tornado Alley Bulldog Rescue to have my name added to an appropriate waiting list to be considered for giving a rescued Bulldog a permanent home. I understand that my application may not be acknowledged unless or until I am being considered to adopt a particular Bulldog and that it may be important for me to be available for an interview by phone or in-person on short notice. By clicking I agree you allow TABR and its members to contact you via phone, email or regular mail with information about Bulldogs. * By checking this box you agree to all the conditions that apply to this application.
