CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND LIABILITY WAIVER
THIS DOCUMENT HAS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES, PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
1. CO-MINGLED ENVIRONMENT – ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK:
Woof In Boots operates a co-mingled boarding, daycare, training, and grooming environment, in which dogs interact with one another. This is different from an environment in which animals are caged and separated and I prefer this open environment even though certain risks are inherently associated with such a co-mingled environment. I recognize, accept and assume the risk that dogs may be injured when in a group environment, even when directly supervised. I authorize my dog to interact, under direct human supervision, with other dogs while at Woof In Boots.
I hereby waive and disclaim any claims or assertions of liability against Woof In Boots, its owners, officers, directors, agents and employees, for any and all injuries sustained by my dog while on the Woof In Boots premises or if my pet escapes from the premises and is injured or killed as a result.
I acknowledge and agree that I remain responsible for any and all injures to other dogs or people, caused by my dog, directly or indirectly, while at Woof In Boots or in the unlikely event that my dog escapes from the premises, and agree that I will indemnify, defend and hold-harmless Woof In Boots, its owners, officers, directors, agents and employees, from and against any direct or indirect claims, damages, losses and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, related to injuries to other animals or people caused by my dog.

I hereby waive and disclaim any claims or assertions of liability against Woof In Boots, its owners, officers, directors, agents and employees, for the death of my pet.
