At South Paw Doodles we want to make the process of selecting and adopting your Doodle pup as simple as possible. We want you to be happy, and to recommend us in the future. The first step is to fill out the Adoption Application. We will review your Application, and if we see that you are a good fit for our puppies we will schedule an appointment by phone to discuss your needs, and what you are looking for in a dog. This will help us match you up with the right puppy. If you are serious about reserving a puppy, then we will accept a non-refundable $200 deposit to add you to our litter list. Our list has 8 slots. More will be added if the litter is larger than 8. If the litter is smaller, say there are 6 pups, then the last two people added to the list will receive a refund of their deposit. The x-ray will tell us how many to expect, but sometimes x-rays are not 100% accurate. (Keep in mind, we are a Doodle Boutique... we have one litter a year, not a constant rotation of litters. There are no other lists to switch you to.) If later someone further up the list drops out for whatever reason, then those that were dropped from the list because of litter size will be immediately contacted and given the option to be put back on the list.
