RELEASE OF LIABILITY
You have expressed an interest in becoming a volunteer to help lost, abused, and abandoned dogs on behalf of Lone Star
Boxer Rescue (LSBR). As part of your volunteer efforts you will come in direct and close contact with many dogs whose
propensities and personalities are unknown. These dogs can be unpredictable and sometimes even dangerous. Many
abandoned and abused dogs may become suddenly aggressive. Dog bites are not uncommon and are a constant and real
risk at any time that you are near any LSBR dog. Such bites can be serious and often require medical attention. They
may even result in permanent and disfiguring injuries.
By agreeing to serve as an LSBR volunteer and by signing below you agree to assume all of the risks posed by being
around unpredictable and sometimes aggressive dogs, including injuries and dog bites. If you are injured in any way
while acting as a volunteer or even just while in the presence of dogs which are in LSBR’s custody, then you agree to
release and hold harmless LSBR/Fritz Carlton from any and all claims of any nature for personal injury or property
damage and from any and all liability whatsoever including but not limited to liability for any medical expenses, pain and
suffering, and from any permanent injury and/or disfigurement, which result either directly or indirectly from such dogs,
from dog bites or from any other dog-related incidents.
In addition, if you volunteer to transport any dog in LSBR custody including but not limited to transportation in your
personal vehicle, then you agree to assume all risks associated with such transportation. You also agree to release and
hold harmless LSBR/Fritz Carlton from any and all claims or causes of action related in any way to such transportation
including claims for injuries and property damage arising from automobile accidents. You further agree to properly
restrain all dogs that are traveling by car by either placing them in an appropriate carrier or by restricting their movement
in the vehicle to ensure that they will not interfere with the operator of the automobile. Finally, you agree to maintain an
automobile insurance policy which provides at least the minimum personal automobile liability coverage as required by
the State of Texas at all times while transporting any LSBR dog in custody.
