Whenever you sell or buy a dog it is a good idea to document the transaction in writing. Although it may appear that both the Buyer and Seller are in agreement on all issues, without a written bill of sale misunderstandings and disputes can easily occur. A bill of sale will help the parties by: 1) forcing discussion of topics before the deal is completed (e.g. warranty coverage, lineage, etc.) and 2) if a problem does occur, the written agreement can be easily accessed for clarification or evidence. Furthermore, a bill of sale can also help the Buyer prove to third parties that he/she owns the dog.

This form can be used in Tennessee.

This package contains (1) Instructions & Checklist for Dog Bill of Sale; (2) Information for Dog Bill of Sale; and (3) Dog Bill of Sale (the โ€œBill of Saleโ€)

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to sell their dog can benefit from this bill of sale to ensure that all terms of the sale are clearly documented. This written record can help prevent future disputes regarding the dog's health, lineage, or any warranties associated with the sale.
  • For those purchasing a dog, having a bill of sale is crucial in establishing legal ownership. This document serves as proof of purchase, which can be important for registration, veterinary services, or in case of any legal disputes regarding the animal.
  • Situations requiring a transfer of ownership, such as a gift or inheritance of a dog, can utilize this bill of sale to formalize the change. This ensures that all parties are aware of the transfer and can help avoid any potential misunderstandings about the dog's status.
  • Breeders or shelters who are placing dogs into new homes should use this bill of sale to outline the terms of the adoption or sale. This helps in maintaining transparency regarding the dog's health and any responsibilities that the new owner may have.
  • In cases where a dog is sold with specific conditions, such as return policies or health guarantees, the bill of sale provides a written record of these stipulations. This can be critical for both the buyer and seller to ensure compliance with agreed-upon terms.

Do Not Use If:

  • โ€“ This form is not appropriate for situations where the dog is being given away for free without any formal agreement. In such cases, a simple verbal agreement may suffice, although a written record is still recommended.
  • โ€“ If the dog is being sold across state lines, this Tennessee-specific bill of sale may not meet the legal requirements of the other state. It's important to check the laws of both states to ensure compliance.
  • โ€“ In instances where the dog has a serious health issue that the seller is not disclosing, using this bill of sale without full transparency could lead to legal issues. It is crucial to disclose all known health problems before completing the sale.
  • โ€“ This form is not suitable for transactions involving multiple parties or complex agreements, such as partnerships or co-ownership arrangements. In such cases, a more comprehensive legal document may be necessary.
  • โ€“ If the seller is not the legal owner of the dog, using this bill of sale could lead to complications. Only the legal owner should sell the dog to avoid potential legal disputes regarding ownership.
