What is the process to adopt a puppy?
Once we have received an indication of your interest, we will send you an application form to make sure your family will be a good fit for these precious double doodles. Once the application has been processed we will notify you and send you a link to make the $500 deposit. We will then send you a contract to finalize the details of your adoption and collect the second payment of $500 so you can take your adorable puppy home.

How is the health of the puppies?
All of our Double Doodle puppies start their deworming series 2 weeks after they are born and continue at 3, 4, 6, and 8 weeks. They receive their first round of shots at around 6 weeks, which includes distemper and parvo. We ask each new owner to take their new puppy to their own veterinarian within 1 week of receiving the puppy. This will ensure they have confidence in the puppy's health.
