RESERVING A PUPPY FROM A LITTER
A completed puppy application and a $500 holding fee are required to reserve a puppy from a litter. The holding fee can be paid via Zelle, Venmo, or by bank transfer, Apple Pay, or credit card through the Good Dog platform. The $500 will be applied towards the CURRENT puppy purchase price of the litter you will be getting a puppy from. The holding fee is NOT refundable but can be transferred to a future litter.
MASTER LIST
To get on our Master List, read the sales agreement and submit a completed puppy application. After submitting the puppy application, please reach out to us either via email or text. Our contact info will be listed on the application. After we receive your message, we will review your responses and if we find that you are a good fit, you will then pay the $500 as your holding fee and be placed on the Master List. You may pay the holding fee via Zelle, Venmo, check by mail, or bank account, Apple Pay, or credit card through Good Dog. This holding fee is credited towards the current purchase price of a puppy. Being on this list gives you priority as you have committed to getting a puppy from us. The $500 payment is not refundable but can be transferred to a future litter as long as you get a puppy from us within two years from date of payment; otherwise, the $500 is forfeited.
When we have a litter and your turn comes up in line, we will ask you if you'd like to get a puppy from the current litter or wait for a future litter. We will wait up to 24-hours for your response before going down the list. If you decide to get a puppy from the current litter, you will need to confirm the gender you want. If you decide to wait for a future litter, you can wait up to two years from date of payment, but keep in mind that the price of a puppy is subject to change and timing of our litters is never guaranteed so you don't want to wait too long. We reserve the right to the first picks of both genders of the litter. We may hold the first and second pick spots until we make our final decision.

GOTCHA DAY
Gotcha Day is the day you bring your puppy home, which is on or around the litter's 8-week mark. Appointments will be one hour long and will be scheduled according to the gender of the puppy and your placement on the litter reservation. First picks will choose first and bring pups home, followed by second picks, third picks, and so on. Last picks will not get to choose and will receive the remaining pups. Note that since puppy selection is held outdoors in our puppy playground, we may have to reschedule appointmens if we have bad weather. Also note that we will not have any restrooms available for use so please plan accordingly.
REMAINING BALANCE
Remaining balance is the current puppy purchase price and sales tax (if applicable), less the prepaid $500 holding fee. Sales tax will only apply if puppy is picked up anywhere within California. Below are the options to pay the remaining balance:
You may pay off the remaining balance with cash at your appointment time on Gotcha Day. Please bring exact amount as we will not have change.
You may pay the remaining balance via Zelle, as long as the payment is instant, but please check your daily limit. If the remaining balance exceeds your limit, you can split it between two payment methods.
You may pay off your remaining balance through Good Dog anytime before or at your appointment time on Gotcha Day. There is no fee to pay with your bank account through Good Dog but there is a 3.5% processing fee if paying with a credit card, Apple Pay, or with a Payment Plan. Good Dog automatically adds a Buyer Protection Plan for an additional fee, but you can opt out of this and remove the fee.
If paying by check, we must receive the check by the litter's 6-week mark to allow time for us to deposit the check and for the check to be cleared by our bank. No check of any kind will be accepted for the remaining balance after puppies turn 6 weeks old. You will need to choose a different payment method if deadline is passed.
HOLDING FEE ROLLOVER
If you have reserved a puppy from the current litter, you have until the day before Gotcha Day to rollover your holding fee and placed back on the Master List for a future litter. You will not be able to rollover your holding fee or placed back on the Master List on Gotcha Day and your deposit will forfeit unless the entire remaining balance of the puppy purchase price is paid. Your entire paid balance will be rolled over to a future litter and you will be placed back on the Master List. The entire rolled over balance will be good for up to two years from date of payment. The rolled over balance will be applied towards the current price of the litter you will actually be getting a puppy from. If there is a difference between the current price and your prepaid balance, you will be required to pay the difference before receiving your puppy.
CONTRACT
There will be a contract for both parties to electronically sign before Gotcha Day. The contract will include the 1-year health guarantee for the puppy.
CHOOSING A PUPPY
With our assistance, you will get to choose your own puppy on Gotcha Day, according to your litter reservation placement. This does not apply to last picks. Last picks will not get to choose. We will not allow a puppy to go to a home if we don't believe it will be a good match. We will know after we temperament test at 7-weeks if there is a puppy that requires a special home, and if needed, we will hold the puppy and make adjustments accordingly.
BOARDING
If you are simply running late to your Gotcha Day appointment time and need to reschedule to a different time on the same day, there is no fee if puppy is picked up same day. But, you will need to coordinate with us your new arrival time so that it doesn't interfere with the other appointments. You may lose your place in pick if you are delayed unless you choose virtually at your original appointment time. If you do not choose your puppy in time, we will choose one for you.
If you are unable to pick up your puppy on the scheduled Gotcha Day and need to arrange pick up at a later date, you may request boarding and rescheduling. This request is subject to our availability and discretion and is not guaranteed but we will do our best to accommodate. Please note that the remaining balance of the puppy price must be paid in full at your original Gotcha Day appointment time once you know which puppy will be yours. Boarding fees will be paid at the time you receive your puppy.
Nightly Boarding Rate (pick up by 12:00PM): $45 per night | There is a $5 charge for every additional hour if puppy is not picked up by noon. For example, if you require one night of boarding and puppy is picked up at 2:00PM the next day, the boarding cost will be $55. Please coordinate with us if you're late to pick up your puppy as we may have plans already in place. If we are not able to accommodate your late pick up, we may hold the puppy another night at your expense.
Last Minute Nightly Boarding Rate (pick up by 12:00PM): $65 per night | This rate applies if a boarding request is made within 48-hours from pick up.
Note: Other fees, such as cost of required booster shot, may apply for long-term boarding.
DELIVERY
If you are unable to pick up your puppy on Gotcha Day, we can deliver the puppy to you. We offer ground transport where we drive with the puppy to you, or air transport where we fly with the puppy (in cabin) to your airport of choice. We do not fly puppies in cargo. A pupply flies in a soft carrier and placed under the seat of an airplance right in front of the escort. We do the deliveries ourselves to ensure the pups' safety and comfort. We do not use outside delivery services or flight nannies. The puppy has to be at least 8-weeks old and must fit in the airline approved soft carrier to fly. Please get in touch with us for an estimate. Boarding fees may apply.
