This waiver does include myself, all of my family members and descendants forever from seeking any legal action whatsoever against Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief and Rescue, Inc. or its representatives.

By signing this document, the Fostering Party hereby declares: that no representations about the nature of said dog, nor any representations regarding the nature and extent of legal liability or financial responsibility have induced the Fostering Party to make this Release and Indemnity Agreement.
