A "warranty" is a type of guarantee, given as a promise to customers that products or services will be dependable or "as described". The offer of a free Rottweiler couldn't be described as a warranty.
A "refund" is money credited to someone for the return of a product or service which has been purchased. "Refunds" are generally given to unwanted or defective goods. Example: Our new coffee maker didn't work so we took it back and got a refund. The Rottweiler in question is not a refund.
A "receipt" is the physical proof of payment for products or services, usually in the form of a small piece of paper. The Rottweiler in question cannot be considered "a receipt", as it is a gift.
"Act now (and receive a gift)" is an expression often used in advertisements to motivate people to buy something right away. In this case, the makers of the SSSS5000 are offering a free dog (to guard against intruders) in order to motivate people to buy the system as soon as possible. This type of technique (in marketing, business, etc) is called "an incentive", something designed to promote or encourage sales.
