Processing Fee & Deposits

This blog only applies to us, Husky Palace. Every breeder has their own terms. We have both terms. In this blog, you will learn the difference between these two terms. To prevent any misunderstandings.

1) Non-Refundable Processing Fee:

The processing fee is to reserve the puppy. This fee is $300 and it goes towards the adoption fee.

Example:

The puppy you want to adopt is $1,500. You have filled out the questionnaire and been approved. You now want to ensure the puppy is yours, so you want to place the processing fee. You will do so by paying online. The remaining balance will be $1,200.

2) Deposits:

The deposit is part of the spay/neuter agreement. Not all pups go home with a spay/neuter legal agreement. However, all our pups are pet only as stated in the legal agreement and AKC registration papers. I will inform you once I am reviewing your questionnaire. The deposit is also $300. The difference is this fee is not part of the adoption fee; it’s an additional $300. The deposit is refundable if you follow the terms and conditions in the agreement.

2.a) Terms and Conditions:

Puppies

The deposit will be refunded if you spay/neuter the puppy before 7 months old or by a year old (I will inform you which one applies to your family) and show proof. Once the proof has been received before 7 months old, the deposit and AKC registration papers will be mailed to you. Failure to spay/neuter her/him before 7 months old will result in forfeiting ownership (we get the puppy back), court costs and no refund will be given of any kind.

Example:

The puppy is $1,500. You will need to pay $1,800 before you take the puppy home. Where $300 will be refunded if you follow the terms and conditions above. If you do, in the end, you paid $1,500 for the puppy.

Adults

The deposit will be refunded if you spay/neuter the puppy within 2 months and show proof. Once the proof has been received within 2 months, the deposit will be mailed to you. Failure to spay/neuter her/him within 2 months will result in forfeiting ownership (we get the puppy back), court costs and no refund will be given of any kind.

Example:

The adult is $500. You will need to pay $800 before taking the puppy home. Where $300 will be refunded if you follow the terms and conditions above. If you do, in the end, you paid $500 for the puppy.

Puppies That Have Been Returned

There are times when puppies are returned to us. The reasons vary. These pups will come with a spay/neuter agreement if not already done by their former families.

Example:

The puppy is $1,000. You will need to pay $1,300 before taking the puppy home. Where $300 will be refunded if you follow the terms and conditions above. If you do, in the end, you paid $1,000 for the puppy.
