4. OWNER authorizes CAREGIVER to make reasonable decisions regarding Care and veterinary services, and consents to CAREGIVER’S reasonable decisions, acts and omissions, including the risks thereof.

5. OWNER authorizes the euthanasia of Pet if it becomes gravely injured or ill, and a veterinarian recommends either euthanasia or treatment costing in excess of $ but not before contacting OWNER (if left blank, then the amount shall be $1,000.00).

7. OWNER shall remain the OWNER of Pet, and be entitled to sole custody and possession of Pet at such time as OWNER desires.

If any of these representations are untrue, then CAREGIVER shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Authorization. Upon being so notified, OWNER shall have the duty to take possession of Pet within 30 days. If OWNER fails to do so within that time, then CAREGIVER shall have the right to deliver Pet to an animal shelter for disposition at its discretion.

10. This Authorization and Agreement may be executed prior to knowing who CAREGIVER may be. Therefore, execution by CAREGIVER is not required until such time as CAREGIVER takes custody of Pet. In that event, CAREGIVER shall mail OWNER a fully signed copy hereof.

11. Additional requirements as agreed upon by OWNER and CAREGIVER:

This Authorization and Agreement replaces all prior authorizations and agreements. The terms hereof are not set by law and are fully negotiable until it is signed. If any provision hereof is illegal or unenforceable, it will not invalidate or make unenforceable the entire Authorization and Agreement, but only the particular provision that is illegal or unenforceable, and the remainder of the Authorization and Agreement shall be enforced as if that particular provision had never been included herein.
