Protocols For Surrender

The following is our protocol for surrendering a dog into Amazing Mutts Puppy Rescue.

1. DOG MUST BE CURRENT on VACCINES & SPAY/NEUTERED. DAPP, RABIES, & BORDETELLA, HEART WORM TESTED, No exceptions.


2. CURRENT Heart Worm/Tick borne screening - 4DX Test within the last 2 months. Proof is required
from the vet. THIS IS MANDATORY REGARDLESS OF AGE.


3. Microchip will need to be transferred back to AMPR with removal of your information.


4. All records from all vets seen during ownership. Please ask vets for SOAP NOTES for the pup or dog. All medicals or emailed to AmazingMuttsPuppies@GMAIL.COM Invoices of visits ARE NOT what
we need. Please follow all instructions as stated. Your vet will email or mail records to us. WE NEED
SOAP NOTES AND ALL CERTIFICATES.

If your dog is a current AMPR dog and HAS NOT BEEN VETTED and NOT UP TO DATE at time of Surrender you will be liable to bring the dog UP TO DATE for the Exam, Vaccines (DAPP &
Bordetella), 4DX HW Test and if HW Positive the cost to treat the Heart Worms ($1600).


5. ALL DOGS MUST BE SPAYED/ NEUTERED PRIOR TO BEING RETURNED UNLESS
UNDER 4 MONTHS OF AGE. If between 4 months and 8 months and not completed, a fee will
be applied per weight.


6. A TRAINER CONSULT or BEHAVIORIST CONSULT is a MUST!
SOMETIMES under certain Circumstances we will need BOTH.
The consult must certify the dog not aggressive in order for return, ANXIETY is NOT AGRESSION -
DO NOT MISTAKE THE TWO. A letter is required by the trainer and/or SOAP NOTES from the
behaviorist that this dog is NOT aggressive, so that we may accurately place the pup in the correct foster
home and provide the letter to the new adopters going forward,
We will advise you if you haven't spoken to a trainer, to do so. We have a trainer who may be able to do a
consult at your cost if needed. A local trainer would be best, and this is out of the adopter pocket. AMPR
does not cover the costs of this trainer eval.


7. PATIENCE is a wonderful thing as we arrange for MEDICAL's. Opening’s in Foster Homes takes
time and in the meantime, we will ask you for Current Pictures for the dog to start actively looking for a
foster or a new family. Please, do as we ask, as soon as possible to expedite your surrender. If you are
able to bring the dog/pup to adoption events please do....the sooner the dog is seen, the better the
chances of re-homing.


8. At time of surrendering you will be asked to complete a surrender form. This form will need your DL
license, Name and Signature, payment if necessary. This form will relieve you of ownership of the dog
being surrendered. Once surrendered you will have no claims to the dog & becomes property of
Amazing Mutts.
