ginger@rainmountain.net. Email the same address if you have any
problems downloading it. Sample Ownership Agreement -- This is the typical agreement that buyers will sign when they get a Rain Mountain pup. Each one is a bit different since each family and pup is different. |

to their ads on TV, the The HSUS does NOT support animal care or
shelters.
