In consideration of my receiving from TEXAS OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG RESCUE, INC. hereafter known as TXOESR, the dog described below, I hereby agree to care for this dog humanely, including food, grooming, shelter, veterinary care, and to license this dog in accordance with the laws in the jurisdiction in which I reside.
 

I also agree to keep the dog as a house pet and not as an outside yard dog.   I agree to exercise the sheepdog in a fenced yard or on a leash daily and the dog is not be chained or tied.. This dog is not to be allowed to roam the streets. This dog is not to be allowed to ride in the open bed of a truck or trailer. This dog is not to be left behind during inclement weather evacuations such as hurricanes, floods, etc.  Electronic shocking collars or pinch collars (prong collar) are NOT to be used on this dog.   These types of collars can cause the animal to turn aggressive if not used properly by a professional.
