​Coasta J’s Toy Poodles wants to make sure that your puppy adoption is the perfect fit for you and your puppy. Please take the time to thoroughly read this Adoption Agreement to make sure that you are in agreement with the terms set forth.​

​

Terms and Conditions of Puppy Deposit

Buyer agrees to pay the purchase price of the puppy (listed on website) and any transportation costs associated with the delivery of the puppy. A deposit of $500.00 must be paid to hold the puppy and is NON-REFUNDABLE. In the event the puppy should have any LIFE-THREATENING GENETIC health issue the buyer has the choice of another puppy of equal purchase price (usually within 1 year). 

Puppies are considered SOLD once deposit has cleared. All deposits go towards the total purchase price of the selected puppy. Breeder agrees to transfer all rights, privileges and responsibilities associated with the ownership of the puppy to the purchaser at the appropriate age (approximately 8 weeks of age). 

 

Final Puppy Payment

Final payments for puppies requiring delivery - balance of the puppy must be made in full and cleared 3 days before delivery date. Failure to make final puppy payment 3 days before delivery date immediately authorizes Seller to offer Puppy to another purchaser without any further obligation to Buyer and all monies paid by Buyer will be forfeited. 

 

Final payments for puppies who will be picked-up by the Buyer –balance must be paid on or before pick-up date. Failure to make final puppy payment on or before pickup date immediately authorizes Seller to offer Puppy to another purchaser without any further obligation to Buyer and all monies paid by Buyer will be forfeited.

 

Puppy Pick-up Date

The puppy pick-up date is based on the seller’s estimation of when the puppy will be naturally weaned and ready to be placed in its new home, which is approximately 8 weeks of age. The seller reserves the right to retain the puppy past the original agreed upon pick-up date if it is found to be beneficial to the health and well-being of the puppy. We will schedule your pick-up date as soon as the deposit is paid and cleared. We will notify you if that date must change to a later date. In some instance puppy may be released to Buyer 2-3 days before the puppies is 8 weeks of age IF approved by the veterinarian.

If for any reason you must pick-up your puppy after the established pick-up date, please notify the Seller immediately so that an alternative pick-up date can be scheduled. To extend the pick-up date, the Puppy must be paid in full, and an additional boarding fee may be required at $30 per day which must be paid upon request to extend the pick-up date. Pick-Up is NOT done at the seller’s home. Pick-up will take place at a neutral location for health and safety purposes.
