CANINE is an active duty police dog with the Anaheim Police Department and is being retired from service.
ANAHEIM is transferring permanent ownership of CANINE to TRANSFEREE in exchange for the sum of $1.00 which parties have researched and agreed is the fair market value of CANINE given CANINE’s circumstances and remaining service life. TRANSFEREE is CANINE’s current handler and acknowledges and agrees that:
1. CANINE has been trained and used as a police dog.
2. CANINE has worked as Police Service Dog in a physically demanding capacity and is transferred, “as is.”
3. ANAHEIM makes no representations, warranties, guarantees, or statements of any kind or nature regarding (i) the physical or mental health of CANINE, (ii) the training that CANINE has received, (iii) the temperament, disposition, or suitability of CANINE for any use whatsoever.
4. TRANSFEREE’S acquisition of CANINE is desired and entirely voluntary by TRANSFEREE and is not in any way, either actual or implied, as a condition of employment by ANAHEIM.
5. Upon transfer, TRANSFEREE shall be fully responsible, financially and otherwise, for any care or medical attention required by CANINE, whether or not such care or medical treatment arises out of or in connection with a condition of CANINE’s that existed prior to said transfer.
6. TRANSFEREE shall not transfer ownership of CANINE to any other person or entity without prior written permission of ANAHEIM, the request for which shall be agreed to or denied in the sole discretion of ANAHEIM.
In consideration of the benefits derived from being allowed to acquire CANINE, TRANSFEREE, on his behalf and on behalf of his dependents, heirs, or assigns, agrees to release and to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ANAHEIM, its officials, officers, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, defense costs, or liability of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with TRANSFEREE’S acquisition, or ownership of CANINE after such transfer, including without limitation any claims or actions arising, or alleged to have arisen out of (i) any training given to CANINE by ANAHEIM, or (ii) any attack (by whatever term called) by CANINE on any person or property.
