3. Your greyhound must be kept as an indoor pet except when getting walks or exercise, or short periods in your yard. Your greyhound must never be left outdoors and ignored or neglected.

10. If your greyhound gets loose or becomes missing for any reason, you will notify TLC Greyhound Adoption, your local police department, and animal control immediately.

11. If for any reason, you decide you cannot keep your greyhound, you will contact TLC Greyhound Adoption so we can make arrangements for his/her return to TLC Greyhound Adoption for placement into a new home. You must NEVER place your greyhound in a shelter or pound.

12. You will allow a representative of TLC Greyhound Adoption to follow up with phone calls and/or visits.

13. Once possession has been taken of the greyhound, TLC is not responsible for any personal injury or physical property damage.
