Adoption Process
1. The first step is to fill out a puppy application so that we can get to know each other. Don’t take it too seriously and have fun with it. If the whole family wants to participate - great!
Once the application is sent in, you are placed on a waiting list. When I reach your name on the waiting list, I will call you with information about our current litter.
Puppies are provided on a first come, first serve basis. Puppy picks go in order of deposits taken. Deposits are never taken before a litter is born and a puppy is available for you.
2. A refundable deposit of $500 is required to hold your puppy.
Please Note: Deposits are only fully-refundable until the puppies are 6 weeks of age. If you cancel after 6 weeks, a refund of $350 will be given. After 7 weeks: $0.
3. Once the deposit is made, you will gain access to our private, buyer-only FB group, which includes regular updates on your new family member! Feel free to get to know the other members and share the excitement of bringing a new puppy home. This is also a great place to ask any questions you might have in a judgement-free zone. Live cams will also be provided at different times and will always be announced on this FB page.
4. When the puppies are 6 weeks old, it is time to schedule a “puppy party.” This is when you get to come visit the puppies (or FaceTime) and get to know them and choose which one will join your family. Visits are done one family at a time, in order of waiting list.
Before your visit, please consider the following:
- If you are sick, or have been recently been sick, please stay home!
- To prevent the Dam from being stressed, we keep her separated during puppy parties.
- If you are bringing small children, please be sure they can keep volume low to avoid stressing the mama dog out.
- Puppy Parties are kept to 30 minute sessions to make sure everyone gets enough time with the puppies.
5. About a week after the puppy party, you will get THE call - the call to schedule a time to pick up your puppy to take home! (Please remember to breathe. We are not liable for any shortness of breath you might have during this call)
This is also when final payments are due. All payments must be made in full before puppies are picked up.
Puppies go home with the following:
- AKC registration papers
- Copy of contract
- Vaccination/Medical records
- 6 Months Health Guarantee
- Microchip registration (all puppies are microchipped by me. Please remember to register them in your name!)
- Lifetime Breeder Support
