This is an example contract. Your contract may vary some from this one.
Usually the rescue dogs and not the AKC registered ones require a spay or
neuter agreement.
If a deposit is put on a puppy $50.00 per puppy of it is
non-refundable, if you change your mind. The money has usually
been spent on dog food to feed all the rescues we have here.
The
purpose of a deposit is to show you do intend to buy the dog so it should
be non-refundable unless you send over $50.00 per dog or puppy.
