  1. In signing this waiver and release form, I certify that I am the owner/agent of any pets I bring to our facility. Furthermore, I agree that in signing below, as an owner/agent of my pet, I understand that I am acting on behalf of all owner/agents and I am binding all other owner/agents of any pet I bring to your facility to the requirements needed to utilize the services and the contents of this waiver and release. 

  2. I indemnify and hold harmless Village Gate Animal Hospital & Pet Resort LLC, its successors, heirs, or assigns (including the owner, staff, and volunteers) and R&KC Adventures LLC and its successors, heirs or assigns, for any loss, liability, damage, or costs I may incur due to utilizing their services for my pets. 

  3. Our Doggie Day Care and Boarding facility is equipped to provide an environment in which dogs can stay, play, socialize, and have fun while also being as safe and healthy as possible. In regards to daycare, we have found that dogs that are socialized and receive ample exercise are happier and healthier. Dogs socialize and have fun in an environment that is cage-free and off-leash so that they can enjoy the full Doggie Day Care experience. Everyone at Village Gate Animal Hospital & Pet Resort is a dog/cat lover and is fully committed to the health and well-being of your pet(s) during their stay with us, whether it be Doggie Day Care or Canine & Feline Boarding. As an organization, we are committed to creating a place in which our guests have access to our full-time veterinarians should the need arise. While we take every precaution possible to safeguard your pet, incidents and illnesses are inevitable when dogs socialize and play together. Despite all of our efforts, please know that much like kids at school, all dogs at Village Gate Animal Hospital & Pet Resort are susceptible to, among other things, the following:

    • Nicks, scrapes, and punctures;

    • Sore or injured joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments & bones; 

    • Ingestion of foreign bodies;

    • Fatigue;
