Deposit Policy

Any of our available puppies can be held by placing a deposit with us. Countryside Kennels requires a $300 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy until he or she is old enough to go to your home. Customers always have the option to pay in full when the decision is made to purchase a puppy.

A puppy is only considered sold once a deposit has been received. Although we are sure that our customers are sincere when calling and asking to hold a puppy, we can only hold one of our puppies for a few days while a check is in mail transit. This is an important policy because the most frequently occurring issue we encounter is waiting for a deposit from one customer and another customer interested in the same puppy. In most cases, our first customer is sincere, but sometimes it happens that there is no follow up and the promised deposit check never arrives. The best way to send a deposit and secure your puppy is by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Zelle or Cash App. There is no processing fee for Credit/Debit Cards or Cash App.  However, if the remaining balance is paid in similar fashion, a 5% processing fee will apply to the entire purchase. We can also accept a personal check for your puppy deposit. If a personal check is your preferred method of payment, please make the $300 deposit check payable to Countryside Kennels and mail it to the address provided below. We will notify you once your payment has been received provided we have received your correct, legible contact information.

Countryside Kennels wants what’s best for our puppies, but also for our valued customers and us. Our cute puppies draw a lot of attention and have created instances where more than one individual would like to purchase the puppy. If you or your family decide on a puppy listed on our Available Puppies page, we recommend placing a deposit online to ensure that puppy belongs to you. Please, don’t ask us to hold one of our puppies while you consider purchasing it, because we have happy family homes calling and wanting these precious puppies every day.  We have to keep this on a first come first serve basis with our customers.

If personal checks are submitted for payment, Countryside Kennels will not release the puppy until the payment clears. Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, Zelle or Cash App at the time of pickup is acceptable and will not delay delivery of your puppy.

A puppy held at the request of a customer beyond 8 weeks of age must be paid for in full by 8 weeks old. In these rare cases, Countryside Kennels will require payment for any incurred veterinary expenses beyond the puppy’s 8 week age (including routine & emergency veterinary services).
