If you are interested in one of our puppies and have any questions after reading the information below, please feel free to contact me via phone, e-mail, facebook or IG.  The beginning of the adoption process starts with reading the sample "Health Warranty, Agreement & Contract" and then clearing up any questions you may have regarding the contract.  Then you will need to fill out and submit the below application.  Once that has been submitted, I will accept a  $200 deposit towards a puppy in the litter. .  At White Oak Retrievers we continue to care about our animals long after they leave us. As such, it’s our strict policy to only sell to individuals; we will never sell to pet shops or brokers. To make sure our animals get the forever home they deserve, we carefully interview all potential owners. If for some reason we find that our puppies are not the right fit for your family and the application is not approved, the deposit will be refunded in the same manner it was deposited.  Names will go on the adoption and pick list as applications come in, pending the deposit is received as puppies turn 2 weeks old.

There are many scammers that front as selling puppies.  For this reason, I am more than willing to FaceTime/Video Message anyone before they place a deposit.  If you are wanting to see updated pictures of the puppies, please check out the Facebook page and Instagram account linked to this page.  New pictures or video clips are uploaded weekly.  I do have a full time job, so if you are wanting to message on a work day for me, it will most likely have to be after 7 pm central time.

Puppies will be picked starting at 6 weeks, as this is the age the personalities start to come out and the physical characteristics of each pup are more evident.  Once again, the puppies will be picked in the order by which the deposits were received.  They can be picked via FaceTime, Video Messenger or coming to the farm to personally see and play with the puppies.  Once the person on the list ahead of you has picked their puppy, you will be notified that you are able to pick your puppy.  Please be conscious of time as others behind you are waiting to pick their puppy.  A limit of 12 hours will be allotted to each family to pick a puppy so those waiting can pick as planned.  If a decision is not made, your pick is forfeited and you will move to the last in line.  

Puppies can be picked up between 8 & 9 weeks.  Each puppy will get dewormer bi-weekly starting at 2 weeks and will have the first set of vaccinations.  Front dew claws are no longer removed for our dogs as The Golden Retriever Foundation no longer recommends this procedure, linking it to arthritis.  Each puppy has a full vet check and clearance before leaving us.  Any health concerns will be fully discussed with each puppy parent.  

I try my hardest to screen every family and ensure that the cost and trials of having a puppy and adult dog are known before the family assumes care, but occasionally a family decides that the dog is not a good fit.  I will always be more than willing to assist in finding a new home or temporary care for any of our previous puppies and am here to be a resource for health and training.  I absolutely do not want any puppies ending up in a shelter. 

Each puppy will be sent home with a blanket that smells of their Mama, along with a small bag of puppy food and 30 days of trupanion pet insurance if registered within 24 hours of pick up.  All pet owners are encouraged to make a vet appointment for their puppy for a full exam and returns with a full refund are accepted within 1 week of when the puppy was picked up for any genetic reason, if puppies have not been allowed to walk on the ground in public places or be around any animals that are not up to date on vaccinations.  It is imperative that all puppies are protected until full immunity can be achieved and all immunizations are given at approximately 14 weeks.  All puppy parents are required to sign agreement acknowledging this information and agreeing to complete all suggested immunizations for puppy.

Once again, If you have any questions, Please feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to answer your questions.  My email is whiteoakpups@gmail.com. This is most likely the best way to contact me if I am not available by phone.

Deposits on puppies can be made by Venmo or Paypal.  Information on adoption fees will be available upon request.
