Adoption Process
Complete the brief Puppy Application or WAIT LIST APPLICATION .
Schedule a brief call or video chat (an in-person visit is optional.)
Before submitting a $600 non-refundable deposit (Venmo, Zelle, or cash.)
Review and sign our contract.
Establish a pick-up date and time.
The remaining puppy fee is due (cash only) on puppy pick-up day.
A puppy pick-up date/time will be set up between 8-9 weeks of age. If you would like to pick up your puppy at a later age, we can often do that for a fee. After nine weeks of age, we charge $30 per day boarding fee and the cost of a vet visit for the 2nd set of vaccines if needed.
*** FYI, the puppy adoption fee includes being up to date on all shots and dewormings, being microchipped, a one-year health guarantee (detailed in the contract), a 5-day food supply, a good start of potty training (on puppy grass turf), and the first vet visit. We also provide a blanket that has been snuggled with by their mom and siblings to take home to help make their adjustment as easy as possible. We do not dock tails or remove dewclaws.
PUPPY AIR TRANSPORT and FLIGHT NANNY INFO
If you are unable to pick the puppy up, we can discuss delivery on an individual basis. When we are able to do so (it is not a guaranteed service, but must be decided individually), we only do delivery through our own personal Rosie’s Pups puppy nanny. All fees would need to be received in full, before travel arrangements could be made. If flying, the puppy will only be transported in the flight cabin with our puppy nanny. When driving, we charge by milage. We do not ship our pups. We are located in North Branch, MN which is 45 miles North or the Minneapolis Airport.
Puppy travel nanny fees:
The cost of the airfare
The pet fee for the airline
If it’s not possible to return the same day, the cost of lodging one night, someplace reasonable (will pick one with free airport shuttle.)
The health certificate cost from the vet, if it’s required by the airline ($150)
Fee for the nanny ($100)
No charge for a travel flight Carrier, we use one we own.
Once we know which airport to fly into, we can get more exact amounts for flight and hotel. We fly out of Minneapolis. As mentioned above, please note that all fees must be received in full (and cleared/processed by our bank which can take up to 48 hours), before the pet travel nanny flight can be booked.
Each airline operates differently. Seems most airlines are $100-$125 pet fee, but some do not even have a fee. Some require a pet health certificate (which is a $150 expense to get from our vet,) some do not require this. Some airline pet fees are per flight if there is a connection, some are one cost per one way. We try to fly on a direct flight whenever possible, as it is ideal for puppy, puppy fees, and hopefully avoiding getting stuck somewhere.
*** We also are able to deliver to the Minneapolis airport for a $40 fee, if you choose to fly here to pick up instead. This is often a less expensive option for a buyer.
