If the Adopter no longer desires or is unable to keep the adopted animal within the terms of this contract and the animal is returned to the responsibility of CCI, no penalty will be invoked for such action, nor will any refund be given. The adopter will however be responsible for fostering the dog until an adequate housing arrangement can be made with a maximum time frame of 6 months.

9. The Adopter authorizes any state or local animal care or control agency to release the animal to a CCI representative, hereby designated as Agent for the Adopter, if the animal is found running at large or is brought into a sheltering facility for any reason and the animal's owner is unable to retrieve the animal timely (24 hours).
10. Attendance to at least one full course of obedience training with the dog beginning within 3 months of this contract execution date is highly recommended. No dogs adopted from CCI are to be attack-trained or guard-trained or used in any aspect other than obedience training unless it is under law enforcement contracts.

12. CCI uses implanted microchip identification. If the microchip is not inserted prior to adoption, arrangements must be made with CCI within 2 weeks to have this done. CCI is the registered Guardian on the microchip for the protection of the animal from possible shelter euthanasia if lost or surrendered. The adopters contact information is added to the animal's microchip registry at the time the adoption is finalized. The Adopter will notify CCI of any contact change requests including email, address and/or phone number changes via email (CCIadoptions01@outlook.com) in a timely manner to maintain updated contact information.
