Owner understands that Camp Run-A-Mutt desires to maintain the health, reasonable care and comfort of all dogs within its care facility, and to adequately provide for the safety and wellbeing of the dogs in its custody.
- Prior to Camp Run-A-Mutt providing any daycare services, all dogs must pass an initial temperament test administered by Camp Run-A-Mutt.

- Owner agrees to pay Camp Run-A-Mutt for all services rendered. A handling fee of $25 will be charged on all returned checks. In the event it is necessary to initiate collection proceedings on the account, Owner will be responsible for all attorneys’ fees and costs of collection and these fees will be added to the outstanding balance.
- This agreement shall be valid for all future use by Dog of Camp Run-A-Mutt’s services and Owner agrees that all future use of Camp Run-A-Mutt ‘s services, by Dog, will be provided by Camp Run-AMutt pursuant to the terms of this agreement. This agreement may be terminated by either party, providing a written notice of termination to the other party.
- Camp Run-A-Mutt will not release Dog to anyone but Owner without prior written notification.
- Camp Run-A-Mutt will, at its discretion, determine if a Dog is “senior” or “infirm.” A Dog that is nine years old or older and/or has a history of any type of chronic illness or health issues may be considered “senior” or “infirm.” Camp Run-A-Mutt takes extra steps to keep such Dogs safe and comfortable, however, Owner acknowledges there is increased risk to the health and safety of these Dogs.
- Owner consents to the use of all photographic images of Dog taken while on Camp Run-A-Mutt premises in any promotional materials of Camp Run-A-Mutt, including, but not limited to, publications, advertisements, social media, and Camp Run-A-Mutt’s website.

- Owner acknowledges Camp Run-A-Mutt is not an animal hospital and does not have a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine or other veterinary professionals on staff.
- Owner recognizes that there is a risk of injury or illness in any environment associated with live animals.

- Owner understands that if their Dog(s) cause an injury to a person and if treatment is rendered to the person, there is a chance that the dog will be subjected to house quarantine for 10 days, as mandated by the County Humane Society and State of California.
- Owner voluntarily accepts these risks and Owner agrees that the Owner shall remain liable and bear all expenses for any damages that the Dog may cause to any dogs, persons or property, including bites, aggressive behavior, or conduct of the Dog and assumes full responsibility for Dog’s actions at all times. Owner hereby waives any claim against Camp Run-A-Mutt, its owners, agents, employees, directors, and representatives (the ” Camp Run-A-Mutt Parties”), and to hold harmless the Camp Run- A-Mutt Parties and each of them harmless from any liability of any kind whatsoever arising from the attendance and participation of Dog at Camp Run-A-Mutt, including, without limitation, any and all illness, bodily injury, unwanted pregnancy, death or other damage to Dog or Owner. I understand and agree that this release applies to future unknown or unsuspected claims, and hereby waive Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law. Section 1542 reads as follows: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
- Owner agrees to indemnify the Camp Run-A-Mutt Parties against all defense costs, including attorneys’ fees, resulting from any claim made against the Camp Run-A-Mutt Parties, either by Owner or by another party as part of an action against Owner resulting from an action taken by Dog or Owner. Owner understands and agrees this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, and the city of San Diego.
- In the event Dog becomes ill or injured, Camp Run-A-Mutt shall notify Owner, and if Owner cannot be contacted or reached, the emergency contact provided in the Camp Run-A-Mutt Registration Form will be contacted. If the emergency contact cannot be reached, and Owner has failed to instruct Camp Run-A-Mutt regarding measures to be taken, or if an emergency situation exists which requires immediate action, Camp Run-A-Mutt is authorized to engage the services of a veterinarian of Camp Run-A-Mutt’s choice and to approve medical and/or emergency treatment (excluding euthanasia) as recommended by a veterinarian. Owner therefore allows Camp Run-A-Mutt to attain medical attention for Dog from any qualified veterinarian and to transport Dog to and from that veterinarian when Camp Run-A-Mutt deems such medical care important for Dog’s health. Owner grants Camp Run-A-Mutt full power of decision involving the medical treatment of Dog, and authorizes the use of Owner’s Card to pay for any such veterinary costs.
- Owner agrees that if Dog damages property belonging to Camp Run-A-Mutt, Camp Run-A-Mutt may hold Owner responsible to pay for damages and Owner agrees to this obligation.
- Camp Run-A-Mutt has a zero-tolerance policy in regards to defaming false comments about the business. A comment may seem true to you but we urge you to investigate before you come forth with potentially false and damaging statement(s). We reserve the first right to correct a problem that may arise out of this transaction with your dog. In the event that you give up that right and post false and/or defaming content that is intended to harm Camp Run-A-Mutt, as a business or its reputation, you agree to pay Camp Run-A-Mutt $10,000 in addition to actual damages. If you are unsure you are able to refrain from these types of actions, we urge you not to sign this agreement.
- If Dog barks excessively, Owner grants permission to evaluate the usefulness of a Citronella bark collar on Dog, with the understanding that collar is not harmful to the Dog in any way and that if it is ineffective it will be removed. Owner can revoke permission at any time by providing verbal instruction to Camp Run-A-Mutt.
- OWNER REPRESENTS THAT S/HE HAS READ THIS AGREEMENT AND UNDERSTANDS AND ACCEPTS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS STATED HEREIN. FURTHERMORE, OWNER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN SHALL BE THE ONLY AGREEMENTS BETWEEN OWNER AND CAMP RUN-A-MUTT, SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING UPON THE PARTIES, AND SHALL SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN.
