Puppy Adoption Information

At Valhalla Mountain Kennels we think it is of utmost importance that you understand completely the commitment you make to your pet when you adopt and bring home your new family member. We hope it will be the beginning of a lifelong (dog years) journey of friendship, loyalty and unconditional love. Please take the adoption of a new puppy seriously and make sure that you are up for the challenges and the joys that your new puppy will bring. We hope that you will be able to provide a loving and safe environment for your puppy and be able to meet all your puppy’s health and companionship needs.

Our adoption process is quite straight forward and can be done in either of 2 ways. 1) If the litter of pups is not born yet and you are wanting a puppy from a future litter then you must fill out a puppy application, state that the litter is pending, state parent dog preferences in you have a preference, also size, sex, color and temperament of the puppy you are looking for.  Once you have submitted your application via email, then a $500 non-refundable deposit via etransfer will need to be sent.  This will guarantee you a spot on our wait list.  Once the puppies are born and you have picked out your new family member then the deposit is increased to half the cost of the puppy.  The balance isn’t due until you get your puppy of just prior to shipping if your puppy is shipped. 2) If the pups are already born then you must first decide on which puppy you would like to adopt. Then, print out the puppy application, fill it in and scan and email (valhallahorsenhound@gmail.com ) the application back to us. We will sign the application and return it to you for your records. Once signed, a 50% deposit will need to be received before the puppy will be held for you. Once the deposit is received, the puppy is yours and all ads will have the puppy removed from the “for sale” section and into the “sold” section. The balance of the purchase price is due once the puppy is picked up, delivered or just prior to shipping if the puppy is being shipped. The puppy application spells out our puppy guarantee and also our expectations of new puppy owners. We of course will always be available for questions if you ever have any uncertainties or just want to talk about your puppy.
