Space for additional comments:



I certify that the information provided on this form is true & correct. I understand that a physical evaluation of the dog, and a temperment test will be performsed by an experienced rescue volunteer to ensure we feel the dog is adoptable before we accept this dog into SHRR's program. If during the evaluation process we find that information contained in this surrender form to be false, we retain the right to turn down acceptance of the dog you are surrendering.

I also understand that the above listed criteria must be met before SHRR will consider taking my Rottweiler as a owner surrender. I understand that if I am not able to meet these prerequisites, my circumstances I have explained above will be taken into consideration by SHRR in determining the acceptance of my Rottweiler as an owner surrender.
