Regarding Medical Treatment in the absence of the Pet Owner:
In my absence, I hereby give my permission to Countryside Pet Resort, Training & Event Center (hereinafter CPRTEC) to act as my agent in case of any emergency or in the case of any apparent health issue regarding my pet(s). Additionally, in my absence I have directed CPRTEC to transport my pet(s) to one of the following at their sole discretion, depending on their assessment of the situation: our Veterinarian of choice, a nearby Veterinary Clinic, or animal emergency care facility for any medical issues which may arise while in the care of CPRTEC.
Check out time is 1:00 p.m. Pets picked up after 1:00 p.m. will be charged for the entire day. Dogs picked up on Sunday will be charged for the entire day.

It is expressly agreed by the Owner that CPRTEC's liability shall in no event exceed the lesser of the current chattel value of a pet of the same breed or species, or the sum of $500 per pet admitted. The owner further agrees to be solely responsible for any and all acts of behavior of said pet or pets while said pet or pets is in the care of CPRTEC, to include payment of costs for injury to staff or other animals or damages to facilities caused by the pet or pets.
