Excluded Dogs. I agree that the Resort has the sole discretion to exclude dogs. The basis for exclusion may include, but is not limited to the following: breed-specific exclusions; due to their young age, dogs that are exempted from state or local law vaccination requirements; are sick; are in heat; are aggressive, vicious, dangerous or potentially dangerous; require muzzling; or are easily frightened or sensitive, resulting in disruptive behavior (such as fighting or biting) in response to a stimulus.

Supervision. I agree to keep my dog on a leash or in a carrier while in all public areas of the Resort. I further agree to have my dog with me or a designated individual at all times, and understand that I may not leave the dog unattended at the Resort. I agree to prevent noise or any other disturbance by my dog, in the interest of other guests at the Resort.

Vaccinations. I represent and warrant that my dog is up to date on all vaccinations (including rabies and distemper) and flea treatments.

Disturbances. I agree that, should my dog create any disturbances, which cause complaints to be made to the management by other guests or employees, at the request of an employee, I will immediately make arrangements to house my dog elsewhere outside the Resort. Additionally, I understand and agree that if I do not find alternative housing for my pet after being asked to do so, I will be asked to leave the Resort and will not be issued a refund.

Assumption of Risk and Release. I understand that my permission to have my dog at the Resort with me is a privilege and not a contractual right. Such permission is expressly conditional upon my adherence to the terms of these rules and other rules in effect at any given time. I understand that the Resort may revoke such permission at any time for any reason. Additionally, I hereby assume all responsibility of risks, injury, damage, other harm that may occur while my dog is at the Resort or caused by my dog. Further, I hereby knowingly and voluntarily expressly release and discharge the Resort, its owner, its agents, its parent companies, members, managers, directors, officers and employees (“Released Parties”) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, injuries, demands, or causes of action, both present and future, whether known, unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, that me or my guests or invitees may have against any of the Released Parties arising out of or incident to my dog’s presence in the Resort, whether arising from any act or omission, whether negligent or otherwise, of me, my dog and/or any guest or invitee. I further agree to indemnify each of the Released Parties for any and all such claims, damages, liabilities, injuries, demands, or causes of action, including costs, expenses, and attorney’s fees arising as a result of or related to the presence of the dog at the Resort. This provision shall be enforceable to the fullest extent of the law.

Acknowledgment.

I acknowledge that I have read the foregoing Assumption of Risk & Release and fully understand its provisions and implications. My execution of this Release is entirely voluntary and intended to be binding on my heirs, executors, legal representatives and assigns.

I have read this Animal Waiver and understand it is my responsibility to abide by the Rules.
