I understand that my presence at W.O.L.F. may bring me into contact or close proximity with wolves and wolf dogs, and there may be dangers associated with such contact including but not limited to: bites, scratches, bruises, broken bones, muscle strain, injury to tendons and ligaments, heart attack, stroke and any other physical injuries up to and including death which are associated with exposure to these animals. I further acknowledge and accept that while all sanctuary animals have been vaccinated for rabies, the effectiveness of the rabies vaccine has not been definitively proven in wolves and wolf dogs and the vaccination is not considered protected by law. Therefore if I sustain an injury from a bite by these animals, I understand that I will be contacted by the Larimer County Department of Health and could be required to undergo the rabies post exposure prophylaxis treatment.

In addition, I fully understand that I will be in an outdoor environment with a steep and varied terrain, and I may be exposed to extremes in temperature including heat, cold, and icy and freezing conditions. I am fully aware of the risks and hazards involved in these conditions and dangers associated with them including, but not limited to, tripping, falling, slipping and sliding that may cause injury to my person or equipment. I assume all risks of injury to my person and damage to my property, regardless of the nature and cause of injury, which may be sustained in connection with my activities at W.O.L.F. I also fully understand and accept that unexpected and unanticipated dangers may arise.

I further agree to indemnify ENTITIES from any CLAIMS as a result of acts or omissions on my part that result in injury or harm to myself or others or harm to property based on my actions or failure to act. I certify that my participation in this activity is voluntary, and that I am not, in any way, the employee, servant or agent of W.O.L.F., a Colorado non-profit corporation.

I, hereby, for myself, my heirs, administrators and assigns, forever hold harmless, release and discharge W.O.L.F. its officers, directors, staff, servants, agents, and all other volunteers (hereinafter known as “ENTITIES”) from any liability of any nature whatsoever including but not limited to: allegations, claims, actions, suits, demands, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, settlements, judgements, costs and expenses including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs (hereinafter known as “CLAIMS”), which arise out of or relate to any acts or omissions of any nature whatsoever that result in injury of any nature, sustained to my person and/or any damage of any type to my property during my activities at W.O.L.F.  I further agree to indemnify ENTITIES from any CLAIMS as a result of acts or omissions on my part that result in injury or harm to myself or others or harm to property based on my actions or failure to act. I certify that my participation in this activity is voluntary, and that I am not, in any way, the employee, servant or agent of W.O.L.F., a Colorado non-profit corporation. In addition, by signing below, I agree to comply with all written instructions and verbal instructions provided to me by W.O.L.F. Staff.
