Agreements

Our puppy agreement & health guarantee

Every puppy placed with a family comes with two written documents, so both sides know exactly what we promise each other. Here is what they cover.

Document 1

Puppy Purchase & Placement Agreement

Protects the puppy, states the promises of both sides, and supports a lifelong, responsible placement. Whether a puppy is donated through our charitable mission or purchased, its well-being stays the priority.

  • Puppy and buyer details, including breed or mix, sex, birth date and markings
  • Purchase terms: price, deposit, balance, go-home date and payment method, all in writing
  • Health records and any known health disclosures shared before placement
  • A vet exam by your own veterinarian within an agreed time after go-home day
  • Placement status: companion/pet-only, limited registration, or breeding rights granted in writing
  • Your care responsibilities: vet care, nutrition, grooming, dental care, training, socialization and a safe home
  • If life changes: contact us first before rehoming, selling or surrendering your dog, so we can help
  • A lifelong relationship and the Tiny Paws Breeder Promise

An attachment to the purchase agreement that explains your puppy's known health information, your part in prompt vet care, and what happens if a serious health condition is found.

  • Records provided: vaccinations, deworming and any vet records we have
