Paying

"My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money."
-Joe Weinstein

Congratulations! You must be about ready to have a new puppy join your family, and BOY, how EXCITING that is! We are glad to see our little waggy-tailed tykes go to homes like yours that are ready to have a ball with them.

First, have you read through our page about "what to do when you think you're ready to buy a puppy?" If not, it's right here.
This page is sort of a list of things to do from now until you pick up your puppy. It includes a link to our sales procedures and guarantees, information about deposits, what you need to have before your puppy comes home, etc.

Placing a Deposit, and Paying for your Puppy

Payment Methods (you must be 18 years old or older to buy a puppy from us):

SAFE: Cash (we really appreciate cash, as the other options take fees out of the proceeds!)
SAFE: PayPal payments that are NOT the "friends and family" type.
SAFE: Credit card payments via PayPal. You do not have to have a PayPal account to use your credit card via PayPal. However, keep in mind that if you use the e-check option in PayPal, the payment takes 4 to 7 days to process. Please don't use PayPal "at the last minute" unless your have a normal credit or debit card or a PayPal account, because it will not be processed for several days. We can't let a puppy leave us until confirmed funds are here. The credit card or PayPal account (whichever applies) must be in the name of the purchaser.
We accept personal checks and money orders for deposits (with at least 2 weeks to process the check through the bank), but not for final payments at the time of pick up.
Venmo: Because of the high number of requests, I have set up an account (scroll down) . Only do this payment method with someone you trust.

UNsafe Payment Methods...we won't ask you for these!

UNSAFE: "Friends and Family" type of PayPal payments. Don't buy from anyone that requires the Friends and Family method, in my opinion.

UNSAFE: Money transfer from Wal-Mart or Western Union is no longer accepted. You should never send any type of wire transfer unless you actually know the person the money is being sent to.

UNSAFE: Gift Cards: not safe for you. Don't buy a puppy with these!

UNSAFE: Bank Transfers: not safe for you (no buyer protection)

Depositing to Reserve Your Puppy:

A $100 nonrefundable deposit is required to hold a puppy until it is old enough to go to your home, though some people pay fully at the time of deposit. If more than $100 is paid initially, $100 of that payment will be considered the deposit. This deposit is applied toward the puppy's cost.

Will I Get a Refund if I Back Out?

The first $100 you pay toward your puppy is considered a non-refundable deposit that applies toward your puppy's total price. "But," we do try to refund deposits in cases where the puppy is reserved by another family for the same price. Much depends upon the timing of everything. More 2 paragraphs below...

If for some reason, you are unable to finish paying for the puppy, and you tell us before he/she is 8 weeks old, we will refund all that you have paid except the $100 deposit.

Extended reservations beyond 8 weeks of age: If you have requested that we keep a puppy longer than 8 weeks, full payment is required after the first weekend following their 8-week age. Canceling after that incurs a $50 per week refund reduction, as puppy prices typically must be reduced to sell older puppies, and we have to readvertise, and have lost sales to people that were previously looking but bought a puppy elsewhere.

If we sell that puppy for the full original asking price, we typically can refund your deposit MINUS extra advertising expenses/fees/vet bills, etc. that we incur.

This situation IS refundable, however: If you place a deposit for an unborn, future puppy, and decide you don't want to wait for puppies to arrive (and therefore, you never reserve a specific puppy), we refund your deposit with no questions asked, minus credit/debit card fees if applicable (such as if the deposit was paid through PayPal and too much time has elapsed to refund the original transaction...around 6 months, I believe).

The Final Payment:

The most-often used final payment methods are:

Cash at the time of pick up (really appreciated, due to the fees other methods withhold from us, which really add up)
Payment with a credit card/PayPal account that doesn't require time for bank clearance
Sorry...Checks are not accepted at the time of pick up due to some bad experiences in the past. :-(

Please don't wait until the last minute to send the final payment if using PayPal unless your PayPal setup allows instant payment. We have run into all kinds of glitches with all payment methods other than cash at the time of pick up.

When is Full/Final Payment Due?

Full payment is due before or when the puppy leaves us. Payment must be confirmable by that time, so if a check or money order is to be used, it should be sent 2 weeks earlier.

If we hold a puppy past the first weekend following the 8 week age for you at your request, full payment is required by the first weekend after turning 8 weeks old.

Credit Card Payments and/or PayPal account payments

Below is an odd assortment of PayPal buttons that, pieced together, should cover your puppy cost and shipping charges if you fly your puppy home. You can use more than one button if needed to gain the full amount of the costs.

If you don't have a PayPal account, choose a button/payment amount below. When you are asked to sign up, just click "continue" or ignore the request for you to create an account to pay as a guest. By doing this, you can use your credit card without having an account with PayPal. The wording changes as they modify their interface, but often you will see options to "pay as a guest" or "pay without logging in" to use your debit/credit card and not a PayPal account.

By using your credit card to pay for or toward a puppy purchase,
you are assumed to be the owner of the credit card.
Do not attempt to make payment to us if you are not listed
as the account holder on the credit card; contact us instead
for payment options.

Reminder: The first $100 of your payments is considered the deposit, and applies toward the total cost of your puppy. Deposits are non-refundable, with the exception of deposits placed before birth when the buyer cancels the reservation without ever picking a puppy to reserve.

$100 Payments, Choose Option:

Note: If you are "pre-reserving" a puppy that is not yet born, your deposit is refundable until you actually choose/pick out a specific puppy , even though the above deposit says it is non-refundable. (minus a 3 or 4% fee taken by PayPal or the credit card processor if too much time has elapsed when you request a refund...around 6 months, I believe). See the Pick of the Litter page for details.

Miscellaneous Payment Amounts

If you plan to pay for the rest of your puppy via debit/credit card or PayPal, choose from the following payment amounts to add payments up for a single transaction. For example, if you want to pay $500, you can add two items to your cart: a $50 puppy payment, and a $450 payment (totaling $500).
Use any combination you want to end up with the correct total you wish to pay, and then check out.

A $100 Deposit is required for us to hold a puppy. It is non-refundable with the exception of the situation described on our Waiting List/Pre-Reserving A Puppy Page.
