---------------------------------------------------------

I hereby acknowledge that I and/or my legal guardian on my behalf have voluntarily registered to participate in animal interaction activities with Animal Assisted Happiness (“AAH”).

I fully understand that animal interaction activities may involve dangers and risks of injury to me. I fully understand that an animal irrespective of its training and usual past behavior and characteristics, may act or react unpredictably based on instinct or fright, and that even the most gentle animal, when provoked or frightened, may rear, buck, bite, scratch, run away or otherwise act in an unpredictable and dangerous manner. In addition, weather such as thunder, hail, lightening, high wind or sudden
appearance of another animal, person or machine can cause an animal to act in an unpredictable and dangerous manner.

Having understood these dangers, I fully assume all of the risks involved and completely release AAH officers, board members, affiliated organizations, agents, employees and/or volunteers from liability for
any and all injuries or death to me from my participation in animal-assisted activities. I agree not to
sue, claim against, attach the property of or prosecute AAH officers, board members, affiliated organizations, agents, employees and/or its volunteers for any injury or death caused by or resulting from my participation in animal interaction activities, whether or not such injury or death was caused by their negligence or from any other cause. I agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AAH and all of its officers, board members, affiliated organizations, agents, employees and/or volunteers for any injury or death caused by or resulting from my participation in animal interaction activities, whether or not such injury or death was caused by their negligence or from any other cause.

This agreement shall be legally binding upon me, my family, my heirs, my estate, assigns, legal
guardians, and my personal representatives. I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents. I am aware that I am releasing certain legal rights that I otherwise may have and I enter into this release of liability and indemnity agreement on behalf of myself and/or my legal ward of my
own free will.

THIS IS A RELEASE OF LIABILITY. DO NOT SIGN OR INITIAL THE RELEASE IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND/OR AGREE WITH ITS TERMS.
