Requires registry of animal rescue organizations; requires animal rescue, pet shop, shelter, or pound notify person adopting or purchasing animal of animal's behavioral and medical history; designated as "Rocky's Law."

This bill, "Rocky's Law," requires animal rescue organizations, shelters, pounds, and pet shops in New Jersey to document and disclose an animal's complete medical history, behavioral assessment, and relevant background information to potential adopters or buyers before adoption or sale. Facilities must obtain records including veterinary examinations within 14 days of adoption, behavioral assessments by certified professionals, and detailed history information about the animal's past, including any dangerous behavior or health issues. The bill mandates written disclosure of this information to adopters or buyers with a notice that records may be incomplete, and requires adopters or buyers to sign a form acknowledging receipt of this information. Failure to comply would constitute a violation of consumer fraud law, with facilities potentially liable for five times the adoption fee or purchase price if an animal causes harm due to undisclosed behavioral issues.
