I hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Releasees from and against any and all claims, damages, injuries, losses, liabilities, expenses, or injuries arising directly or indirectly as a result of any action by my dog or any other dog including any claims by myself, my family members or any other person accompanying me to or present with me at any function, program, event or activity of P.A.W.S.

Due to the many outstanding benefits of dog socialization and P.A.W.S. University Dog Training's commitment to the safety and well-being of my dog, I agree that the benefits of dog socialization outweigh the risks. I understand if my dog has a habit of running away off leash or “breaks loose” easily P.A.W.S. University Dog Training is not responsible for my dog running away or becoming lost, nor does P.A.W.S. University Dog Training take responsibility for the injury or death that might result.
I understand that P.A.W.S. University Dog Training has the right to refuse service to me and/or my dog at any time for any reason. I understand that if my dog has a history of or repeatedly demonstrates aggression or biting of humans or animals, P.A.W.S. University Dog Training reserves the right to refuse service. I understand that all bites may be reported to the local authorities to the extent required by law.
I hereby declare to P.A.W.S. University Dog Training that I am the legal owner of my dog; that my dog has not been exposed to distemper, rabies, or parvovirus within the past thirty (30) days, that my dog has been inoculated as indicated by records presented.
