I further agree that my Dog will be in my care and control during the Event, and Minnesota Twins, LLC (the “Twins”) shall not be responsible for supervising the actions of my Dog. I hereby represent and confirm that my Dog is (i) in good health and current on all vaccinations, including Rabies, Distemper, Parvo, Leptospirosis, Parasites, Bordetella, (ii) licensed, (iii) spayed or neutered at seven (7) months or older, and (iv) not the subject of a quarantine order, a pending adjudication or administrative hearing, and has never been declared a dangerous, potentially dangerous, or vicious or potentially vicious dog.

I acknowledge the Twins reserve the right to exclude or eject any and all unruly, rowdy or disruptive owner or dog from the Event and/or the Ballpark without liability and that I shall be fully responsible for any damages or expenses, direct or indirect, incurred as a result of my or my Dog’s disruptive behavior and/or ejection.
