006. Example of a Spay/Neuter Contract
____(Your name and address)___________________agrees to sell the
following animal to ___________(Buyer's name and address)___ for
the sum of __________________.
BREED: SEX:
SIRE: DAM:
DATE OF BIRTH: LITTER NUMBER:
MARKINGS:
Registration papers will be held by the seller until proof of
spaying/neutering has be received from a licensed, reputable
veterinarian. When proof has been received via a receipt and/or
written statement for the vet, the registration papers and the sum of
__($50 or whatever seems appropriate)___ will be forwarded to the
buyer's address. Spaying/neutering of this animal is _required_ to
receive the registration papers. It is understood at the time of sale
that this dog is not considered to be of show or breeding quality, but
is a representative of its breed and is structurally and
temperamentally suited as a companion and/or obedience dog. This dog
is guaranteed for two weeks against any general health irregularities,
and it is recommended that the buyer have the puppy examined by a
reputable veterinarian during this period. A refund of purchase price,
upon return of the puppy, will be given for any puppy found
unsatisfactory during this time limit. No other guarantee is given
except in the case of a genetic or temperamental defect which
develops, at any time during the dog's life, to the extent that it
renders the dog unsuitable as a pet. In the case of temperamental
defect the buyer agrees to return the dog to the seller for a full
refund of purchase price. In the case of genetic or hereditary defect,
the buyer will have the option of a replacement under the same
conditions stated in this contract when one becomes becomes available,
_or_ a refund of the purchase price. If at any time, the above dog
must leave permanent ownership of the buyer, the seller must be
notified. This dog is not to be placed in a shelter or humane society
without prior notification to the seller. Failure to follow this
contract will entitle the seller to the amount of $400 as a result of
breach of contract and any legal fees associated with legal actions.
The buyer understands that this is a legally binding contract and that
a copy of this contract will be forwarded to the American Kennel Club
to prevent fraudulent registration of the described dog.

If you read the contract for its legal content, you'll find that if
the owner is your average "joe-pet-owner" he'll benefit by getting a
very sound puppy and a small bit of money back from this deal after
the neutering is done. That's it, nothing tricky. If, however, the new
pet owner does just get the puppy with no intention to keep it later
or no intention to follow the contract they will be subjected to quite
a stiff fine and legal fees.
