How do I get my Labradoodle puppy home?

Labradoodle puppies may be reserved with a deposit. Typically, we will have a clear picture of a puppy’s personality/temperament traits as well as potential coat and size by 6 weeks of age. You can pick your puppy either in person or via exchange of emails with pictures and descriptions of the available puppies.

We allow our puppies to go to their forever homes beginning at 8 weeks of age. Our pups are vet examined, micro-chipped, current on vaccinations and deworming and are started on heartworm preventative and flea/tick treatment. They come with a Health Guarantee and Warranty and lifetime support.

    We accept a limited number of deposits on current and upcoming litters to ensure that all families with deposits have the opportunity to pick their puppy.

    The adoption process begins with you contacting us either by phone/text, FB messaging or email. Please let us know the size, gender, coat and temperament you are looking for in your Labradoodle. Please let us know if you or anyone in your immediate family has diagnosed dog allergies.

    If we have the puppy, older puppy or adult Labradoodle you are looking for, you may place a deposit on your puppy via Venmo, Square Credit Card processing, in-person cash or check. Please refer to the Deposit and Registration Form. See form for details on deposit and purchase, located HERE.

    Puppies must be paid in full by 8 weeks of age or at the time of purchase if older than 8 weeks of age. Any shipping/delivery, training and extended stay charges are due before the dog goes home. We do allow puppies to stay with us longer than 8 weeks of age, if it is more convenient for the family due to travel plans, timing, young children, etc.

    We do continue training, vaccinations, deworming and housebreaking until the puppy goes home, and we will keep a purchased puppy for up to 2 weeks at no additional charge. There is a $25 per day extended stay charge for any puppies staying longer than 2 weeks after they have been released to go home.

    Adults and older puppies must be paid in full prior to going to their new homes. This includes any shipping/delivery, training and extended stay charges they may have incurred during their stay with us.
