Adoption Process

We do our best to ensure every puppy is placed in a safe, loving, and prepared home.

Our commitment to our dogs extends far beyond the day they are born. We take great care in matching our puppies with families who are ready for the rewarding journey of dog ownership. The steps outlined below have been carefully designed to guide you through our application and selection process, providing you with the information, transparency, and support you need to confidently bring your new puppy home.

Our Adoption Process

Step 1: The Puppy Application Your first step is to fill out our brief online application. This helps us get to know you, understand your lifestyle, and ensure our Maple Doodles are placed in the best possible homes. We review every application carefully and will reach out to you with the next steps.

Step 2: Meet & Greet (Visit or Video Call) Once the puppies are around 6 to 7 weeks old and have received their first set of vaccines, it is time to meet them! For the health and safety of the litter, we wait until this milestone to schedule interactions. You can choose to visit us in person or set up a video call to see the puppies in action, observe their personalities, and find the right match for your family.

Step 3: Securing Your Puppy After you have successfully matched with a puppy during your meet and greet, we require a $500 non-refundable deposit to officially reserve your dog. This deposit secures your specific puppy and goes directly toward the final purchase price.

Step 4: Take-Home Day The most exciting step! Our puppies stay with us until they are approximately 12 weeks old. This gives them crucial extra time to learn bite inhibition, build confidence with their mother and littermates, and get a solid head start on socialization before transitioning to your home.
