K-9 Country Lodge Boarding Agreement

This is a contract between K-9 Country Lodge (hereinafter called "Lodge") and the pet owner whose signature appears below (hereinafter called "Owner").

Owner agrees to pay the rate for boarding in effect on the date the pet is checked into the Lodge.
Owner further agrees to pay all costs and charges for special services requested, and all veterinary costs for the pet during the time the said pet is in the care of the Lodge.
Owner further agrees that the pet shall not be released until all charges are paid to the Lodge by the Owner.
By signing this Contract and leaving said pet with the Lodge, Owner certifies to the accuracy of all information given about said pet.
The Lodge shall exercise reasonable care for the pet delivered by the Owner to the Lodge for boarding. It is expressly agreed by Owner and Lodge that Lodge's liability shall in no event exceed the lesser of the current chattel value of the pet of the same species or the sum of $200.00 per animal boarded. The Owner further agrees to be solely responsible for any and all acts or behavior of said pet while it is in the care of the Lodge.
Owner specifically represents that he/she is the sole owner of the pet, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
Owner specifically represents to Lodge that the pet has not been exposed to rabies or distemper within a thirty-day period prior to boarding.
All Charges incurred by Owner shall be payable upon pick up of pet. The Lodge shall have, and is hereby granted, a lien on the pet for any and all unpaid charges resulting from boarding pet at the Lodge. The Owner hereby agrees that in the event the boarding charges are not paid when due in accordance with this contract, the Lodge may exercise its lien rights upon ten days written notice given by Lodge to Owner by certified mail to address shown on Guest Registration. The Lodge may dispose of pet for any and all unpaid charges, at private or public sale, in the sole discretion of the Lodge, and Owner specifically waives all statutory or legal rights to the contrary. If such sale shall not secure a price adequate to pay such costs of board or other charges delinquent, plus costs of sale, then Owner shall be liable to Lodge for the difference. All monies realized by Lodge at such sale, over and above the charges due and costs of sale, shall be paid by Lodge to Owner.
If pet becomes ill or if the state of the animal's health otherwise requires professional attention, the Lodge, in its sole discretion, may engage the services of a veterinarian or administer medicine or give other requisite attention to the animal, and the expenses thereof shall be paid by the owner.
This Contract contains the entire agreement between the parties. All terms and conditions of this Contract shall be binding on the heirs, administrators, personal representatives and assigns of the Owner and the Lodge.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, or as the result of any claim or controversy involving the alleged negligence by any party to this contract, shall be settled in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the award rendered by an arbitrator may be entered in any Court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator, shall, as part of his award, determine an award, to the prevailing party of the costs of such arbitration and reasonable attorney's fees of the prevalent party.
Owner agrees to follow all posted rules and regulations.
Owner must provide written proof from a veterinarian that all the pet's inoculations are current for the following: Cats: Distemper-Rhino-Calici and Rabies; Dogs: Rabies, DHLPPC, and Bordetella. (It is a state law that your pet must have a rabies vaccine if over 3 months of age.) All inoculations must have been received at least 7 days prior to time of check in to the Lodge to be fully effective. We will not assume responsibility for any disease preventable by vaccine.

Owner hereby certifies that their pet is in good health and has not been ill with any communicable disease in the last 30 days.

Owner further certifies that their pet has not harmed or shown aggressive or threatening behavior towards any person or other animal. Owner assumes all liability for damages or injuries caused by their pet.

Owner understands that payment for boarding and additional services is to be paid in full on the day of check-out and has reviewed and approved the Lodge suite and other facilities to be occupied by pet.

In placing my pet under the care of K-9 Country Lodge it is understood that K-9 Country Lodge assumes no responsibility for the loss or injury of my pet other than situations where the Lodge is deemed to be solely negligent. I do hereby release all owners and employees of the Lodge from all liabilities for damage occasioned by loss, injury or illness as above set forth.

This agreement is valid for all future stays at K-9 Country Lodge unless it is rescinded by either party.

K-9 Country Lodge reserves the right to refuse any pet that does not meet the prerequisites. We also refuse to accept any animal that has proven to be vicious, destructive or unmanageable in boarding situations.
