AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE AND LIABILITY WAIVER I understand certain "activities" that my dog may participate in, including daycare, boarding, one-on-one play, movement within and outside the facility, and transportation to and from STAY involve risk and possible injury, including but not limited to:
