Would a pet adoption agreement be legally enforceable if the pet in question was a human being who willingly signed themselves away as a dog for adoption, and put their legal name as the pet information on the pet name line of the agreement, and in the other information portion of the agreement, they put that they willingly surrendered their human rights to be adopted as a dog?
In Maryland, and generally in the U.S., such an agreement would not be legally enforceable. Here are some key points:
- Contracts must have a lawful purpose; surrendering human rights this way is not lawful.
- Individuals cannot legally change their status to a non-human entity.
- Such an agreement would likely be void as it contradicts fundamental legal principles.
