Thomas Ridge Kennels Puppy Agreement
Sample

We at do not “pre-screen” our customers but trust and expect all our new puppy customers to provide excellent care and loving homes for them. If you feel you have done your homework on the costs associated with a new dog, have adequate living or yard space, and some time that you can devote to training and bonding with your new friend you may go ahead and reserve one of our puppies!

Our Deposit Policy

ADVANCE DEPOSITS: *We generally do not take deposits on unborn puppies but prefer to wait until they are around 2-3 weeks old and individually displayed on our website and you can place a deposit then, we sometimes even designate a specific day & time to begin accepting deposits or certain litters that are in demand. (then notify those on our email waiting list at least 24hrs in advance) We always try to honor reservations on a “first deposit placed, first served” (see more details below) *Special consideration and allowances are sometimes given to our prior customers.

The “PayPal” button will take you to a PayPal page where you can enter your credit card or PayPal information for the deposit as stated and this will be put towards the purchase price. Once you have completed this transaction PayPal will then email you a receipt of the puppy you reserved. If perchance you make a deposit on a puppy that was already reserved by another person, we will give you the option to pick another puppy or promptly refund your deposit. The balance of your puppy will be due by cash or credit card paid at the time of the puppy pick-up. (see below for pickup details)

Our Pricing Policy

Our pricing is as stated on each puppy’s page. We may occasionally offer a discount once they get around 9 weeks or older and have not been reserved. *Our prices have increased some due to demand.

Our Refund Policy

If perchance something should happen to your puppy when you have a deposit placed on it. We would let you pick another available puppy or you can use it to reserve a future puppy on upcoming litters. Or in this case also have it refunded. If however, you default and never pick up your puppy your deposit will then be used to help located a new home for the puppy.
