Adoption Agreement
A clear promise, both ways.
Our Adoption Agreement outlines the expected proper care for your puppy and explains our health guarantee.
Why We Use One
An agreement built on trust
A good agreement isn’t about red tape — it’s about making sure every puppy lands in a home that’s ready for them, with both sides clear on the commitment.
Protection
Clear, shared expectations that protect the puppy’s wellbeing — and your investment — for the life of the dog.
Health Guarantee
Our agreement explains our 24-month health guarantee and exactly what it covers, so there are no surprises.
Transparency
Everything is written down and explained up front. You’ll know what we expect of you, and what you can expect of us.
Information
Care guidance and the commitments that help your Golden grow into the healthy, well-adjusted companion they’re meant to be.
Registration Options
Full and Limited AKC registration
We offer two AKC registration options: full and limited. Most of our families choose our Limited AKC Adoption Agreement, which places the puppy as a beloved companion rather than for breeding.
If you’re hoping to add a dog to a breeding or show program, let us know and we’ll talk through whether a full-registration placement is the right fit.
