Welcome to www.dr-dog.org.
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the Dr. Dog website and its content, features, donation
links, communications, and other online resources.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms,
please discontinue use of the website.
For purposes of these Terms, “Dr. Dog,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers, as applicable, to Dr. Dog Animal Shelter /
Asociación Civil SEBRA, based in Limpio, Paraguay, and Non-Profit Dr. Dog Inc., a United States nonprofit
organization supporting the Dr. Dog mission.
1. Our Mission and Website
Dr. Dog is dedicated to the rescue, protection, care, rehabilitation, and welfare of dogs.
The website provides information about our organization, rescued animals, programs, activities, shelter,
supporters, partnerships, donation opportunities, and ways for individuals and organizations to become involved.
Website content is provided primarily for informational and charitable purposes.
2. Use of the Website
You agree to use the website only for lawful purposes.
You may not:
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the website, servers, accounts, or systems
Introduce viruses, malicious code, or other harmful technology
Interfere with the operation or security of the website
Use automated systems to improperly collect information from the website
Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
Use the website to engage in unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, defamatory, threatening, or harmful conduct
Copy or commercially exploit website content without authorization
We may restrict or terminate access to the website when reasonably necessary to protect the organization, its
users, systems, animals, staff, volunteers, or supporters.
3. Donations
Donations made in support of Dr. Dog are voluntary charitable contributions.
Donations may be processed directly or through independent third-party payment processors, charitable-giving
platforms, workplace-giving platforms, or fundraising services.
Those services may have their own terms, conditions, privacy policies, fees, and procedures.
Unless a campaign expressly states otherwise, donations support Dr. Dog’s charitable mission and may be used
where reasonably needed to advance animal rescue, care, veterinary treatment, food, shelter operations,
infrastructure, staffing, rehabilitation, and other mission-related expenses.
A reference to a particular animal, project, or need does not necessarily create a legally restricted donation
unless Dr. Dog expressly confirms that the contribution is restricted for that purpose.
4. Donation Receipts and Tax Matters
The tax treatment of a donation depends on the organization receiving the contribution, the donor’s jurisdiction,
and applicable law.
Non-Profit Dr. Dog Inc. is identified as a United States 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations intended to
qualify for United States charitable tax treatment must be made through an eligible U.S. entity or approved
donation channel and remain subject to applicable U.S. law.
Contributions made to entities or programs outside the United States may be treated differently.
Dr. Dog does not provide tax, accounting, or legal advice. Donors should consult their own professional adviser
regarding tax deductibility.
5. Donation Errors and Refunds
Charitable donations are generally final.
However, if a donation was made in error, duplicated, processed incorrectly, or involved unauthorized use of a
payment method, please contact us promptly.
Refund requests will be reviewed individually and may also be subject to the rules of the payment processor or
charitable-giving platform through which the donation was made.
Nothing in this section limits any rights required by applicable law.
6. Adoption, Rescue, and Volunteer Information
Information provided through the website regarding dogs, adoption, volunteering, visits, rescue activities,
sponsorships, or other opportunities does not constitute a guarantee of acceptance or availability.
Dr. Dog may establish eligibility, safety, welfare, operational, and animal-care requirements before approving an
adoption, shelter visit, volunteer activity, partnership, or similar arrangement.
The welfare and safety of the animals remain a primary consideration.
7. Veterinary and Animal-Care Information
Information about animal health, veterinary care, treatment, rehabilitation, nutrition, behavior, or similar subjects
is provided for general informational purposes only.
It is not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or advice from a licensed veterinarian or other qualified animal-care
professional.
8. Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate and current information.
However, rescue situations and nonprofit operations can change quickly. Animal availability, statistics, programs,
partners, campaigns, shelter needs, photographs, donation opportunities, and other website information may
change without notice.
We do not warrant that every item of website content will always be complete, current, or error-free.
9. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise indicated, the website and its original content – including text, photographs, graphics, videos,
logos, designs, stories, and other materials – are owned by or used with permission by Dr. Dog and are protected
by applicable intellectual-property laws.
You may share public Dr. Dog content through normal social-media sharing functions for personal,
noncommercial purposes and to help promote our charitable mission.
You may not reproduce, alter, sell, license, distribute, commercially exploit, or falsely attribute our content without
prior authorization.
Third-party names, logos, trademarks, photographs, and materials remain the property of their respective
owners.
10. Use of the Dr. Dog Name and Logo
Use of the Dr. Dog name, logo, branding, photographs, or other identity elements does not imply endorsement,
partnership, sponsorship, or authorization unless Dr. Dog has expressly agreed to such use.
Organizations wishing to reference Dr. Dog publicly as a partner or beneficiary should obtain appropriate
authorization.
11. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links or integrations relating to social networks, payment processors, charitable-giving
platforms, sponsors, corporate partners, media services, or other external websites.
These services are operated independently from Dr. Dog.
We are not responsible for the availability, content, privacy practices, security, terms, products, or actions of
third-party websites or services.
Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider’s terms and policies.
12. Privacy
Personal information collected through the website is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which forms
part of these Terms of Use.
13. Website Availability and Security
We may modify, suspend, restrict, discontinue, or update any part of the website at any time.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access and are not responsible for disruptions caused by
maintenance, hosting providers, internet failures, cyber incidents, third-party services, events beyond our
reasonable control, or similar circumstances.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and
“as available” basis.
Dr. Dog makes no guarantee that the website will always be available, secure, error-free, or suitable for a
particular purpose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or right that cannot legally be excluded.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Dr. Dog and its officers, directors, representatives,
employees, volunteers, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential
losses arising solely from the use of or inability to use this website.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where such limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
16. International Visitors
The website may be accessed from countries around the world.
Users are responsible for complying with laws applicable to them in their own jurisdiction.
Access to the website from another country does not, by itself, alter Dr. Dog’s place of operation or create a legal
presence in that jurisdiction.
17. Governing Law
Except where mandatory law provides otherwise, use of the Dr. Dog website and these Terms of Use will be
governed by the laws of the Republic of Paraguay.
Any dispute relating primarily to the operation or use of this website will be subject to the competent courts of
Paraguay, without prejudice to any mandatory rights available to users under applicable law.
Donations or transactions processed by Non-Profit Dr. Dog Inc. or by a third-party platform may additionally be
subject to the laws and contractual terms applicable to that entity or platform.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms periodically to reflect changes in our activities, services, website, legal
requirements, or organizational structure.
Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective or last-updated date.
Continued use of the website following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent
permitted by law.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in
effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
