Puppy Waitlist & Refundable Deposit Agreement

At Casa Canines, we believe welcoming a puppy should be an exciting and thoughtful decision, never one made out of financial pressure or obligation.

This Agreement allows prospective families to reserve a position on our Official Puppy Waitlist while we prepare for future Bernedoodle litters.

Our first litter is tentatively anticipated in January 2028, with puppies potentially ready to join their families around March–April 2028.

These dates are estimates and may change depending on breeding readiness, veterinary guidance, successful pregnancy, and the health and well-being of our dogs.

Joining our waitlist does not guarantee a specific puppy, litter, sex, coat color, size, temperament, or go-home date.

A $500.00 refundable deposit is required to join the Casa Canines Official Puppy Waitlist. This deposit:

• Secures a position on our Official Puppy Waitlist.
• Demonstrates a family's current interest in welcoming a Casa Canines puppy.
• Is credited toward the puppy's total purchase price if a purchase is completed.
• Is fully refundable if the family decides not to proceed, for any reason.
• Does not obligate the family to purchase a puppy.

A waitlist position is confirmed once the signed Agreement has been accepted and the deposit payment has cleared.

At Casa Canines, the well-being of our puppies will always come before a deposit or sale.

We understand that life can change unexpectedly. Families may experience financial challenges, changes in housing, health concerns, family emergencies, or simply realize that the timing is no longer right for a puppy.

We never want a family to feel pressured to bring home a puppy because they've already paid a deposit.

For this reason, all Casa Canines waitlist deposits are 100% refundable, for any reason, at any time before the final puppy purchase is completed. No explanation is required.

If Buyer decides not to proceed, Buyer may request a refund by contacting Casa Canines in writing.

Casa Canines will initiate a refund of the full $500 deposit within 14 calendar days of receiving the cancellation request. No cancellation or administrative fees will be deducted.

Refunds will be returned to the original payment method when reasonably possible. Processing times may vary depending on the financial institution. Once the refund has been initiated, Buyer's waitlist position will be released.

Our philosophy is simple: Every puppy deserves a family that is ready, excited, and fully prepared to welcome them home.

Breeding plans involve many factors that cannot be guaranteed.

If a planned litter is delayed, canceled, or does not produce an available puppy, Buyer may choose to:

1. Remain on the Official Waitlist for a future litter; or
2. Receive a full refund of the $500 deposit.

The choice belongs entirely to Buyer. No family will be required to transfer their deposit to another litter or remain on the waitlist.

Official Waitlist positions are generally assigned in the order completed Agreements and deposits are received.

However, Casa Canines believes that selecting the right puppy for the right family is more important than simply choosing by appearance or waitlist number.

Our puppy placement process will consider each puppy's individual temperament, developmental observations, and compatibility with a family's lifestyle and household. Factors may include children, other pets, household activity, experience with dogs, and expectations for companionship.

Waitlist priority provides an opportunity to be considered for available puppies but does not guarantee a particular puppy or first choice of the litter.

If Buyer does not feel that an available puppy is the right fit, Buyer may decline without penalty and request a full refund or remain on the waitlist for a future litter.
