Once
you have decided that you are interested in adopting a puppy from Ashstone Kennels
you can contact us by email, telephone or snail mail. We
will answer any and all questions to help you to make an informed decision.
Should you decide that you would like to be considered as a home for one
of our puppies we will ask you to supply us with some personal information.
This information includes information about you, your family, your home,
your lifestyle, why you decided on a Havanese, how the pup will
be raised, who will look after the puppy or what arrangement you have made
if you are working and away from your home through the day. We will
also require information regarding what your expectations of a puppy are,
what you are looking for in personality, size, coloring, and your overall
expectations of a Havanese. Although these questions seem
particularly personal, we do need to know where our puppies are going and
how they will live. Each of our puppies is very special to us and we are
careful to select homes which we feel are going to provide the safe, loving,
lifetime home environment which we desire for our puppies. In turn,
we will give you comprehensive information about us in order that we may
have a solid, lifetime, working relationship for the benefit of your new
puppy. We ask that you complete our Puppy Buyer
Questionaire.
Once this information is provided and we have reviewed it, we will make our decision regarding placing a puppy with you. If we decide that we would like to place one of our puppies in your home we require that you complete our Deposit Agreement and forward the signed copy togther with your deposit which represents your commitment to adopting one of our puppies. Once we receive your deposit we contact you to let you know that it is received. Please note that deposits are non-refundable should you change your mind for any reason.
At this point, we will stay in contact with you. If your puppy is not yet born you will be advised when it is born. Approximately two weeks prior to picking your puppy up you will receive information from us which includes a list of things you will need for your new puppy. During this time we are available to answer all of your questions. As well, our website will from time to time have updated pictures of the puppies as they grow.
If you require more information regarding our requirements for perspective
homes or on shipping a puppy to you, please email us.
