Adoption Process

If you are interested in one of our puppies, please email, call, or text for availability. We are happy to answer any reasonable questions you may have about our puppies or the doodle breeds. Our puppies are very popular, so it is common at times to have a short waiting period before you are able to take a puppy to your home.

 

We appreciate applications or when emailing us, please provide an introduction about yourself and your family.  Please include the number and ages of the family members, where you are located, what EXACT date you want to bring a puppy into your life, your current or past pet ownership experience, if you have any puppy training experience, what type of home you live in (rent/own; house, apartment, etc.) and if you have any size restrictions where you live.    

 

We do not keep/maintain an unpaid or casual wait list. We recommend you just keep an eye on the website or get on the paid reservation list when it is available. 

 

After pups are born we will start a paid reservation list.  This is a contractual agreement that allows you to be put in line to purchase a pup.  

 

We will start a paid reservation list only after puppies are born.  Ask to have us email you a copy of our Reservation List contract.  To get on the list, it requires the signed contract and a $400 fee which is non-refundable but is put towards the final price of the puppy.  People are placed on the list in the order in which fees are received.

 

However, if you are interested in a future puppy please contact us. It helps to determine Breeds.

 

Exceptions

Some examples where the deposit could be refunded are:

~The litter reserved from did not have enough puppies for our reservation list.

~The gender that you specified was not available.

~We did not feel the family/puppy were a good fit at the current time.

Changing your mind for family or personal reasons will result in forfeiting your deposit. Payment methods we accept are personal check (if pups are less than 6 weeks old), money order, cashier’s check, or PayPal.

 

When the pups are old enough to be viewed (around 5-6 weeks of age) then the people on the list are contacted in order so that they can choose their puppy.  When a specific puppy is chosen (please see Puppy Selection Process);  then we use our Sales and Reservation Contract and 1/2 of the purchase price (less your deposit) is required to be paid to hold a specific puppy until it is old enough to go to it's new home.

Puppies are expected to be picked up when they are old enough or, if a puppy listed for sale is over 6-8 weeks of age (Vet Clearance date), then we expect the sale to be immediate.  If you are not able to take a puppy when it is ready, then please tell us that up-front.  We can only hold a puppy for someone for a very short amount of time.

 

We invite pre-approved serious buyers to our home on two occasions.  When they are choosing their new puppy prior to it being old enough to leave us (when pups are 4 to 5 weeks old) and the other time would be when the puppies are 6- weeks (or older) and are able to leave to go home with their new owners.     

 

PLEASE do not inquire about puppies if your spouse/significant other has not first approved of this addition to your household.  Likewise, if you are a renter, make sure your landlord approves of your getting a "puppy".  Some will allow adult dogs, but not puppies.

 

Payment Options: 

Reservation List Fees (Deposit):  Send money online through your online banking using "Zelle", personal check, money order, US Bank bank transfer, PayPal, US Bank teller window deposit, Venmo or Cash App
