Stokeshire Designer Doodles Deposit/Reservation Fee Policy:
Vaccination Requirements for Doodle School: Participants must provide proof of Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations. Titer testing is also accepted. Note that vaccinations take time to build immunity. Vaccinating too close to the stay may leave the pet unprotected.
Care and Liability: Stokeshire Designer Doodles D/B/A will exercise reasonable care for all pets. However, they are not liable for loss or damage due to disease, theft, fire, or other unavoidable causes. The pet will not leave the property without written consent from the Owner, except in health emergencies. Stokeshire D/B/A is not responsible for pets contracting Kennel Cough, as the vaccine does not cover all strains.

Pet Ownership Responsibilities: The Owner verifies that no oral promises or representations have been made outside of this written agreement. The Owner consents to Stokeshire D/B/A transporting the dog for training or veterinary visits.
