Adoption Process
1. Adoption Application Form: To begin the adoption process, interested individuals or families are required to fill out our Adoption Application Form. This form helps us understand your preferences, living situation, and what you're looking for in a Whippet. It also allows us to ensure that our puppies are placed in loving and suitable homes.
2. Review and Approval: Once we receive your Adoption Application Form, we will carefully review it. We may reach out to you for additional information or to clarify any details. This step helps us match the right puppy to the right home, ensuring a happy and harmonious companionship.
3. Deposit: After your application is approved, we require a $400 deposit that will go toward the final price. A deposit does not guarantee you a puppy but puts you in line for puppies as they are available. If a puppy is not chosen from this litter, your deposit can be refunded or applied to a future litter.
4. Keeping you updated: We will post photos on our website or send progress photos to you via email once they are born.
5. Puppy Selection: We will not promise specific puppies until they are 8-10 weeks old. At that time, we will begin discussions as to which puppies will fit best for your family based on your application, preferences and the personalities of the puppies.
