the adoption process

getting started

1. Please review our policies page

2. If you agree with our policies and wish to proceed, please fill out the application form. Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted within 48 hours

3. If approved, there is a non-refundable deposit of $50 to be placed on the waiting list. The deposit will be credited towards the purchase price

4. Pictures of the babies will be posted once they are a few weeks old. Babies range between $300 to $450 based on their colours and markings

5. Families on the waitlist will be contacted one at a time in the order of deposit. You will have 24 hours to choose a baby and pay the remainder of the total. If we do not receive a reply within 24 hours, we will move on to the next family

6. Once payment is received, the baby is officially reserved for you! You are always welcome to pass and wait for the next litter (you will keep your spot on the list)

7. Babies will be ready to go to their homes at 6-8 weeks. You will be contacted to arrange a pickup date

8. A reserved baby must be picked up before they are 10 weeks old (unless we have made an alternative arrangement beforehand). After 10 weeks, we reserve the right to re-list the baby as available and you will be asked to choose a different baby

9. Day of pickup: your baby will be treated for mites and come with a two week supply of food
