Puppy Application 10/08/22

Psst...thanks for completing this application! At first glance, you might thing "sheesh, this is a little long - are all these questions really necessary?" I know, because I thought the same thing when we got our dogs! We hand-raise all of our puppies in our home with our children and love each of them, and we hope you love your puppy, too.

Every family is different, and there are no right or wrong answers. We know many families may have two working adults and we don't expect anyone to be a superhero and quit a day job just to be able to take home a puppy. Every puppy family has different needs, and this application helps us identify who needs what information and what homes might make the best fit. If you're an experienced puppy owner, we don't want to waste your time with things you already know; by the same token, if this is your first puppy, we want to make sure you leave prepared for what life with a puppy may bring. So again, thank you!

What to expect
Completing this application is a step in acquiring a puppy from Green-Heart Poodles, but it does not guarantee a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely......the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement.

If this application is approved, you'll be notified and be required to send a $500 non-refundable deposit (*with picture ID required)within two days to hold the available puppy spot. Please note our deposit policy: if you make a deposit, you commit to taking a puppy from the litter, regardless of whether your gender/color preference is available. Should you elect not to take a puppy from the litter, the deposit is transferrable to a future litter for up to 2 years. We do our best to match your preferences. Deposits are non-refundable.

Puppies will go to their new homes at eight weeks. We cannot hold puppies for extended periods; it is critical that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe for their social development. New families must pick up puppies within seven days unless other written arrangements are made.

We have a contract and will not place a puppy without a signed contract. We believe it's the professional thing to do to memorialize our obligations to each other on paper, so there are no questions later; for that reason, it's a bit lengthy. If you have questions about specific terms, contact us before picking up your puppy.

We require a spay/neuter at or before 18 months. Proof of the procedure from your vet is required before we release the dog's registration papers.

*We do not allow any puppy to leave our property before eight weeks of age, NO EXCEPTIONS*
