    Adoption Prescreening

    At Carrier Family Doodles we have sold puppies to many wonderful people across the country and have the assurance they went to good homes. We want to know about you and ask that you tell us about yourselves in the application form.

    You need to be aware of the costs associated with a new dog, the care and attention required to develop them into adulthood and beyond, and have adequate living space. If you feel you are ready, we welcome you to reserve one of our puppies. While it is highly unlikely to happen, we do reserve the right to decline an adoption if we believe it may not be in the best interest of the puppy.

  • Post-Adoption Owner Responsibilities & Vet Reimbursements

    To ensure your puppy is healthy and adapting well to their new home, we ask that you get your puppy checked by a vet within 72 hours of adoption. We want you to be confident that your puppy is going from our home to yours in good health.

    Five curly-haired dogs rest on a brown leather couch, with four lying together on the seat and one sprawled across the top.

    While we do follow a strict deworming protocol, use a Coccidia preventative, and exercise  the utmost caution in exposing our puppies to outdoor environments,  it is common for puppies to pick up parasites such as giardia, coccidia, roundworm, etc. Mother dogs are more vulnerable to parasites after having puppies and may pass those along to some of their litter. If your puppy is found to have parasites within 72 hours of adoption, we will reimburse you 100% of the cost of needed medications, plus any re-testing costs incurred.

    Our Genetic Health Guarantee

    At Carrier Family Doodles, we follow uncompromising breeding practices and health test all of our parent dogs. Because of this, we offer a 2-year genetic health guarantee. See our Health Guarantee page for more details.

    If genetic health issues arise within these first years of owning your dog (including elbow dysplasia or luxating patella but excluding hip dysplasia), we will reimburse treatment expenses incurred up to the amount paid for the dog.

    Diet and exercise play a significant role in your pet’s overall health. If you want your puppy to live a long and happy life into adulthood, daily healthy habits are a must.

  • Refunds

    In the rare event something may happen to your puppy while you have a deposit on it, you have two options:

    • Use that deposit for another puppy from current or future litters
    • Receive a 100% refund of your deposit

    However, if you choose not to take the puppy after reserving them, your deposit becomes non-refundable. We use deposits to help relocate non-claimed puppies to other homes. That said, we consider making allowances for circumstances outside your control.

  • Waitlist and Deposit

    If you would like to be placed on the waitlist, please read our waitlist  page information and place your non-refundable, $100 deposit from there.

    Being on the waitlist gives you picking rights from available and future litters. You can skip your turn at any time, as many times as you like, and still be notified of subsequent litters—with a higher pick the next time around.

  • Deposit and Refund Guidelines

    Once you make a waitlist early selection or choose a publicly available puppy, your puppy will only be reserved with a deposit. Your $500 deposit is non-refundable, except by special consideration for extenuating circumstances. Reservations are honored in order of deposits placed.

Personal Delivery Options

Our job isn’t done until your puppy is safely with you—whether you’re on the other side of the country or the other side of town!

We offer both ground and air transit options. In either case, your puppy will always be accompanied by a staff member, and never shipped.

  • Pickup and Delivery

    While local pickup is preferred, we do have several ground shipping options available.  We will deliver to (or meet up at) any location within 4 hours of New Concord, KY, for $125 (current rate, subject to change). If we have multiple puppies going to the same area, we can often split the cost and get better rates.

    We will consider longer-distance travel. Please contact us to request rates.

  • Air Transit

    To have your puppy flown directly to you, we fly with your puppy from the Nashville International Airport to the closest major airport near you. Your puppy is carried in a breathable, soft travel carrier in the cabin for the duration of the flight and is given treats, a chance to use the bathroom along the way, and lots of love and snuggles during travel.

    The price for our flight nanny service is $350. Either the buyer or a Carrier Family Doodles team member can make flight arrangements. The cost of airfare and payment of the pet fee (usually $125) is entirely the responsibility of the buyer. Carrier Family Doodles will supply the approved carrier.

  • Airport Pickup

    If you would like to fly your puppy yourself, we can meet you at the Nashville International Airport for $125 within normal business hours. The buyer is responsible for the full cost of airline travel and providing an approved carrier.

Mountain Doodle Giveaway

We know that some families deeply desire a Golden Mountain Doodle for companionship, emotional support, or as a special blessing during a difficult season of life, yet may not be financially able to afford one.

As Christians, we believe in giving back from what God has blessed us with. Because of this, we occasionally offer giveaway puppies to families with special circumstances or meaningful needs. Additional details, terms, and application information can be found on our Giveaway Puppy page.

Please note that applications may not be kept in queue beyond the time period of the current puppy giveaway. This is not a raffle or lottery randomly selected, but is discussed among our family members with a mutual decision being made on the basis of details in individual applications. We do not guarantee a puppy to any applicant, but do offer our consideration in the giveaway process.

While we would like to offer every qualified applicant a puppy, obviously this is not possible. Additionally, our preference is to let each applicant know if they have not been selected to receive a giveaway puppy. However, the volume of applications we receive usually limits our ability to respond individually. If we do not contact you with an offer to welcome a giveaway puppy into your home, please understand that we have considered your application and selected another applicant.
