Completing this application is a step in the process of acquiring a puppy from SWFL Goldendoodles, but it does not guarantee you will get a puppy from this or any future litter. While it's unlikely, the breeder reserves the right to refuse any placement at any time. APPROVAL AND PAYMENT: We will review applications. Applications are processed in the order they are received. If your application indicates that you may be a good fit, we will notify you. During pregnancy, approved homes will receive a link to make a nominal commitment payment on a puppy, and links will be sent out in the order applications were received. Please make this payment within 48 hours of the approval e-mail. YOUR PICK OF PUPPY: Puppies will be assigned in payment order. We ask that you make a choice within 24 hours of notification since there may be other families waiting for a chance to choose. You should review both the payment policies and pick policies on our website for any updates. GOING HOME: We cannot hold puppies for extended times; it is critical for their social development that the litter departs within a reasonable timeframe. 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 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. If you have questions about specific terms, please contact us prior to picking up your puppy. TAKE BACK POLICY: We have a take-back provision in our contract. Any puppy from our home always has a home here, and will never experience the fear and burden of life at a shelter.
