GIARDIA COCCIDIA WAIVER
As a rescue, we assume all of our puppies were exposed to Giardia/Coccidia and watch for symptoms. When definitive symptoms arise in our care, we treat our puppies for illness. Due to the nature of rescue, it is unfortunately too expensive to test and treat every puppy in our care if they are not presenting symptoms.
We highly recommend you take your new puppy to your vet and have them tested for Giardia/Coccidia, and if they test positive, complete any necessary treatment.
Giardia intestinalis (aka Giardia duodenalis, Giardia lamblia) is a common, treatable, microscopic intestinal parasite that affects humans, dogs, and cats. Puppies contract Giardia when they eat, or even inhale, something with the parasite on it. Coccidiosis is a common, treatable, intestinal tract infection caused by one-celled organisms (protozoa) called coccidia.
Since Giardia and Coccidia are microscopic, it is not always obvious your puppy encountered grass/dirt/water/food previously contaminated. Since puppies are still developing their immune system, they are extremely susceptible to these common, yet treatable, parasites.
Common signs and symptoms of Giardia infection (in both humans and pets) are diarrhea, gas, abdominal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. The most common sign of Coccidia is diarrhea. However, it is possible to be infected and have no signs or symptoms of illness.
❖ Avoid walking your pup outside where other animals go to the bathroom, whenever possible.
❖Make sure your puppy has clean drinking water from indoors. Do not let your puppy drink from puddles, communal water bowls, or other outdoor sources.
I hereby acknowledge that Kane’s K9s staff provided me with this information sheet on Giardia/ Coccidia, understand that these are common and treatable parasites, and accept full responsibility for any medical costs and/or care associated with Giardia/Coccidia (in addition to the medical release above).
BEHAVIOR WAIVER FORM
Kane's K9s & Animal Rescue (Kane's K9s) takes every precaution to not place aggressive dogs or dogs with extensive behavior issues. There is always a risk that an adopted dog could develop a behavior issue once in a home or could inflict a bite or scratch to the adopters, family members, other animals in the household or members of the public. If you witness any aggressive, dangerous or concerning behavior from your pet (or from any members of your own family or pets toward the adopted pet), you agree to immediately notify Kane's K9s for additional help and resources. By signing the adoption contract, you agree that you will not hold Kane's K9's financially or otherwise legally responsible for any injuries or damage that might occur upon adopting a dog. You release Kane's K9s from any and all liability through the completion of the adoption contract.
Kane’s K9s does not approve of the use of aversive tools, techniques and punishment for training or behavior modification of adopted dogs. Aversive tools, techniques and punishment include, but are not limited to, the use of any of the following: choke collars, prong collars, shock collars, electronic collars (e-collars), training collars, e- touch, stimulation, tingle, TENS unit collar, remote trainers, e prods, alpha rolls, squirt bottles, scat mats, pet correctors, bark collars, citronella collars, and electronic fencing.
Aversive tools, techniques and punishment can cause aggressive and fearful behaviors to worsen. Kane’s K9s encourages all adopters to interview any trainer and/or pet professional you may hire to ensure that they do not use aversive tools, techniques and/or punishment to train, handle or otherwise interact with your pet. If you need help finding pet professionals that provide humane, safe, and effective training or other services, contact Kane’s K9s for referrals and other resources.
Must provide 3 references and none can be yourself.
