PLEASE READ THE BELOW AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!
Completing this application is a step in the process to acquiring a puppy from Whispering Pines Farm Miniature Dachshunds. We want to provide you with a puppy as soon as possible. I reserve the right to refuse any placement at any time. I also reserves the right to retain any puppy from any litter.
AVAILABLE PUPPIES: If you are filling out this applilcation to adopt a puppy that is marked as AVAILABLE. A deposit is required to hold the puppy until pick up day. I have made the decision to close the deposit holders wait list as of 1/01/2024.
APPROVAL AND DEPOSIT: I will review applications as soon as possible. Please contact me if you haven't heard from me within 2 days at amywpfarm@gmail.com or 865-335-8573. Applications are processed in the order they are received. If your home is a good fit, I'll notify you by email. The deposit must be placed within 24 hours of the approval e-mail. Deposits can be placed through Paypal using my email amywpfarm@gmail.com, or Venmo using @AmyWPFarmMiniDoxies. We also accept personal checks for deposits only made out to me and mailed to Amy Terry 6000 Zachary Road Corryton, TN 37721.
GOING HOME: We cannot hold puppies for extended times (I do make a few exceptions when necessary - $10 per day boarding fee applies). If you have a big vacation planned or have events that would conflict with a young puppy, please know puppies cannot be boarded in a kennel until they have received their full immunizations and their rabies vaccination which cannot be done until 3 months of age.
CONTRACT: We do have our contract posted on our website. We will not release a puppy to leave without a signed contract. If you have questions about specific terms, you need to contact us prior to picking up your puppy.
SPAY/NEUTER: We require spay/neuter at or before 12 months. Your vet will discuss with you when the best time to schedule the spay/neuter depending on the growth of your puppy. When your puppy has the surgery, please send me a picture or screenshot of the vet record/receipt so that I can complete your puppies file. Additionally Any puppy from our home always has a home here, and will never experience the fear and burden of life at a shelter. Because we take cradle-to-grave "original home" responsibility for the puppies we created, puppies must be spayed/neutered.
REGISTRATION PAPERS: Our puppies come with AKC and or CKC limited registration papers. Full rights may be given to approved breeders for a $500 additional fee. I do not advocate folks who "would like to have just one litter" for whatever reason. While that may seem "fun" to do, there are a lot of risks to the dam and puppies. There are also a lot of expenses that can happen that people don't realize. It is best to leave breeding up to the professionals that have the knowledge and experience required to produce healthy happy puppies.
If you have questions regarding any of these terms, please contact me to discuss.
