Following your confirmation of each animal you will be notified when they are available and when you either need to pick them from transport or from the shelter. We will ask for follow up proof of pictures of the animals and proof of vetting done.

    2. Please use the email addresses rescue@rcaps.org to state which animals you are interested in saving.

    3. We CANNOT guarantee the health or behavior of an animal. The animals have not been examined by a veterinarian unless otherwise noted. If you have committed to an animal and it becomes sick you are responsible for any medical expenses incurred after the commitment date.

    4. If at any time the Rescue feels the need to put down the companion animal they have received from RCAPS they MUST notify RCAPS before the companion animal is put down.

    5. If you surrender a RCAPS animal to a kill shelter you will no longer be allowed to pull RCAPS animals.

Rescue also understands that the Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society of Henderson will not be responsible for any medical care or costs thereof required for this Companion Animal from this day forth. All expenses resulting in any injury or illness and all care will be Rescues's sole responsibility. In addition, Adopter/Foster hereby agrees that the Rescue, its members, trustees, volunteers, agents or representatives, any other person associated with the Rescue, their heirs and assigns, successors and executors, will not and cannot be held responsible for the conduct, behavior, health or disposition of this Companion Animal. Rescue shall assume all responsibility for damages, suits, debts and actions that arise from ownership of this Companion Animal.

Unconfirmed and unverifiable information has been voluntarily provided to RCAPS by its former owner, if known, but RCAPS has undertaken no investigation with regard to the history or physical condition of the Companion Animal other than given by the previous owner (if known). The Rescue, its members, trustees, volunteers, and any other agents or representatives, executors, successors, agents and assigns, make neither warranty nor guarantee, expressed or implied, as to the physical, medical, mental or behavioral condition of this Companion Animal, its background or its suitability or compatibility.

    If at any time the Rescue feels the need to put down the companion animal they have received from RCAPS they MUST notify RCAPS before the companion animal is put down. RCAPS then reserves the right to reclaim the animal and any an all monetary funds given that have not been used to help the companion animal. If RCAPS is notified that the companion animal has been put down without prior notice RCAPS has the right to receive any an all monetary funds given for the companion animals back and will no longer allow this rescue to pull animals from them.

    I understand Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society is run by volunteers. I understand my application will be checked thoroughly and I will be notified if I have/have not met the needed requirements as soon as a volunteer can respond. This usually takes just a few hours but there is a possibility that this may take a day or two. If you do not hear a response after 3 days of applying please email rescue@rcaps.org and politely inquire on your status.
