3. STATEMENT REQUIRED BY VIRGINIA LAW [Code § 3.1-796.96(2)]
A Virginia law went into effect on July 1, 2003 requiring all “home-based
rescues,” which would include BARK (Bandit’s Adoption & Rescue of
K-9s) within its definition, to obtain signed statements from anyone adopting from,
volunteering with, or connected to us in any capacity that the individual “has
never been convicted of animal neglect, abandonment, or cruelty.”
I, the applicant on this form and undersigned volunteer or parent or guardian (if
volunteer under 18), am connected with a home-based rescue as defined under Virginia
law, specifically BARK (Bandit’s Adoption & Rescue of K-9s), as a volunteer,
fostering individual, and/or adopter. With my signature below, I attest that I have
never been convicted of animal neglect, abandonment, or cruelty.
