Registration Form

• I understand and agree that in admitting my dog to The Hounds Club that The Hounds Club has relied on my representation that my dog is in good health, has no contagious diseases, and has not harmed or shown aggressive or threatening behavior towards any person or dog. I have fully disclosed to The Hounds Club, in writing, all issues, past incidents, or characteristics of my dog that might affect his behavior and demeanor, and/or might affect the handling and care of my dog while at The Hounds Club. • I understand that the Hounds Club is a cage-free group play environment, and that group environments greatly increase the chance of dogs contracting a communicable illness, regardless of vaccination, particularly among very young, very old, or immuno-compromised dogs. Specifically, but not exclusively, I understand that even though The Hounds Club requires that every dog be vaccinated for Kennel Cough, the Bordetella vaccine is not 100% effective, and does not protect my dog from every new strain of the virus. I understand this risk and know that The Hounds Club assumes no responsibility if my dog becomes ill, nor responsibility for associated vet expenses. • I further understand that, in group play environments, accidents can happen and understand that my dog may be injured. I agree that any injury, or illness, that my dog develops while visiting The Hounds Club will be treated as deemed best by staff and volunteers of The Hounds Club and in their sole discretion, including choosing a suitable licensed veterinarian, and I assume full liability financial responsibility for any expenses involved. I give my consent and full authorization to The Hounds Club (including its agents and employees) to act on my behalf and in my dog’s best interest, by choosing a veterinarian and obtaining emergency vet care at my expense if deemed necessary. I agree to indemnify and hold The Hounds Club (and its agents and employees) harmless for all expense relating to emergency care. • I understand that Cage-Free Daycare and Boarding can be an exuberant, high-energy environment, blending a wide range of temperaments and play styles. I acknowledge that, due to this and despite thorough evaluation and ongoing vigilance on behalf of the Hounds Club, disagreements may occur between dogs that might lead to injury to my dog. I also acknowledge that my dog might cause injury to another dog. In the case of such an incident I explicitly agree and aver that the Hounds Club and its staff shall not be liable for any injury to my dog, nor associated vet bills and expenses, and I hereby agree to release them and hold them harmless from any liability of any kind whatsoever arising from my dog’s visitation and participation. I further understand that I am solely responsible for and agree to indemnify The Hounds Club from all liability incurred as a result of any injury and/or harm to a person or another dog caused by my dog while visiting the Hounds Club. Under no circumstance shall the Hounds Club be responsible for any costs arising from an illness or injury incurred while on premises. • I agree that in the case of an incident between my dog and another, the Hounds Club shall not act as an intermediary between parties. I accept that my telephone number and/or email address will be shared with the parent(s) of the other dog, and that I will, in good faith, endeavor to resolve the issue with the other party without the involvement of the Hounds Club. • The Hounds Club reserves the right to change, refuse, or discontinue service to any dog at any time, for any reason, including involvement in above stated incidents. If my dog’s stay is terminated, I agree to promptly pick up my dog. I further understand and agree that if my dog is/are not picked up by the end of the regular business day, I hereby expressly authorize The Hounds Club to take whatever action is deemed necessary for the continuing care of my dog and agree to pay all costs upon demand. • I understand my dog may become dirty or matted during play, and it is not the responsibility of The Hounds Club to prevent this. I do not expect the Hounds Club to clean my dog upon departure, nor will I expect that they will pay for any baths or grooming I might wish to pursue. Specifically, but not exclusively, I acknowledge that my dog might intentionally roll in feces, and I will not hold the Hounds Club responsible for this. • I agree my dog may be photographed & recorded for unrestricted use in all media & promotions for The Hounds Club. • I agree that evaluations are a crucial component of maintaining a safe, stable environment at the Hounds Club, and agree that my dog may be chosen, at the discretion of staff, to participate in such evaluations. • I agree that all disputes that arise out of or relate to the subject matter of this agreement and/or in any way relate to my dog and The Hounds Club shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted by and pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Los Angeles, CA. In this regard, I knowingly forego and waive any and all rights to trial, including small claims court, to appeal or otherwise contest such resolution and further waive any right to seek emotional distress, loss of companionship and/or punitive damages. I further agree that the maximum amount of any claim against The Hounds Club and/or its employees and principals which in any way relates to my dog(s) and The Hounds Club shall be the lesser of two thousand dollars ($2,000) or the cost to purchase a puppy of the same breed, comparable pedigree and sex of the dog which is the subject of such claim. I certify that the information provided herein is true and correct and that I have read and understand all the above information. I agree to abide by and accept all the above terms, conditions and agreements.
