Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa and Area

Boarding Contract

I understand that Volunteers for the Ferret Rescue Society of Ottawa and Area (FRSO) provide the boarding services and that I will be responsible for any and all expenses resulting from ear mites, fleas, ticks and communicable diseases that are brought into the volunteer homes by my ferret(s). I will ensure my ferret(s) are free of ear mites by ensuring that an ear mite test is conducted on all my ferret(s) at least two weeks prior to their boarding. If needed, I will make arrangements with the FRSO to examine ear swabs at no charge.

The FRSO and its volunteers will take full responsibility for the ferret(s) while in our care and will make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. We promise to keep them in safe, clean and in spacious quarters while they are in our care, and play with them and feed them as described by you, the owner. We also promise that the ferrets will not be removed from the premises of the FRSO volunteer without the consent of their owner.

If the ferret(s) become ill during their stay the FRSO and its volunteers will do everything that is necessary to provide medical attention. If necessary, we will take your ferret(s), at your expense, to a vet of our choice. By signing below, you agree, as owner of the ferret(s) that FRSO representatives and volunteers have the authority to make any decisions concerning the well being of your ferret(s) in the event that you or your emergency contact cannot be reached. The FRSO and its volunteers will not be responsible for any medical problems past or present that are not brought to our attention. They also cannot be held liable for any accident or illness that occurs during the ferret’s stay.

Ferrets will be returned to you with as many personal items that can be found or were not destroyed by the ferrets. Please not that ferrets’ coats and weights may change over an extended stay due to seasons, diet change and/or change in routines.

I agree to the terms of this agreement as owner of above named ferret(s), and also agree that payment is due and payable upon completion of the boarding services. Long-term boarding (over 30 days) requires 50% of the boarding fee payable in advance with the balance due upon pickup. Any ferret left in the care of the FRSO after Thirty (30) days without contact from the owner or partial payment in advance becomes the property of FRSO.
