Welcome to PuppyHome. These Terms & Services explain the rules, responsibilities, and conditions that apply when you visit our website, communicate with our team, inquire about a puppy, place an order, arrange payment, or use any service provided through PuppyHome.
By accessing or using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these Terms & Services and agree to follow them. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use our website or services.
Our goal is to make the process of finding and welcoming a puppy as clear, comfortable, and responsible as possible. These terms help protect our customers, our puppies, and PuppyHome while establishing clear expectations throughout the purchasing and delivery process.
About PuppyHome
PuppyHome provides information about available puppies and assists customers who are interested in welcoming a puppy into their home. Our website may include puppy listings, photographs, descriptions, availability information, care information, purchasing information, delivery details, and customer support resources.
Information displayed on the website is provided to help customers make informed decisions. Puppy availability, photographs, descriptions, pricing, and other details may change as puppies are reserved, sold, updated, or become unavailable.
| Website Information | Important Note |
|---|---|
| Puppy listings | Availability may change without notice |
| Puppy photographs | Images may vary from the puppy’s current appearance |
| Descriptions | Information is provided for customer guidance |

| Availability | A puppy may become unavailable after another customer reserves it |
Using Our Website
You agree to use the PuppyHome website for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the website, our services, our team, or other customers.
You must not use our website to submit false information, impersonate another person, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with website security, distribute harmful software, or engage in fraudulent activity.
You are responsible for ensuring that any information you provide to PuppyHome is accurate, complete, and current.
Puppy Information and Availability
We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information about available puppies is accurate and current. However, puppies naturally grow and develop, meaning their appearance, size, coat, and other characteristics can change over time.
A puppy shown as available on the website may become reserved or unavailable before your inquiry or order is completed.
| Information | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Breed or type | Provided according to the puppy listing |
| Age | Based on the information available at the time of listing |
| Gender | Provided where applicable |
| Photographs | Intended to represent the puppy but may not show current appearance |
| Personality | Individual puppies may have different temperaments |
| Size | Adult size can vary depending on genetics and development |
| Availability | Subject to prior reservation or sale |
Customers are encouraged to contact PuppyHome with questions before making a purchase if they require additional information about a particular puppy.
Choosing a Puppy
Choosing a puppy is an important decision. Customers should consider their household, lifestyle, available space, daily schedule, experience with dogs, grooming requirements, exercise needs, and long-term ability to care for a dog.
PuppyHome can provide general information about available puppies and help customers understand the information provided with a listing. However, the final decision to purchase a puppy remains the customer’s responsibility.
We encourage customers to carefully consider whether they are prepared for the financial, practical, and long-term responsibilities associated with dog ownership.
Puppy Reservations
Where PuppyHome offers a reservation option, reservation requirements will be communicated to the customer before the reservation is finalized.
A reservation does not necessarily mean that a puppy has been permanently transferred to the customer. Customers should review all applicable reservation and payment information before proceeding.
If a puppy has already been reserved by another customer, PuppyHome may no longer be able to accept another reservation for that puppy.
Orders and Purchase Confirmation
An inquiry, message, or request for information does not automatically constitute a completed purchase.
An order is considered confirmed only after PuppyHome has communicated confirmation and any required payment or documentation has been completed according to the applicable arrangements.
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Puppy inquiry | Customer contacts PuppyHome about an available puppy |
| Information review | Customer receives relevant information |
| Purchase arrangement | Price, payment, and other arrangements are confirmed |
| Payment | Customer completes the required payment |
| Confirmation | PuppyHome confirms the purchase |
| Delivery or collection | Arrangements are made for the puppy to reach the customer |
PuppyHome reserves the right to correct errors in pricing, availability, descriptions, or other website information before an order is confirmed.
Pricing
Prices displayed on the website are subject to change unless a price has been specifically confirmed as part of an accepted purchase arrangement.
Additional costs may apply depending on the delivery method, location, documentation requirements, transportation arrangements, or other circumstances.
Customers will be informed of applicable costs before proceeding whenever reasonably possible.
| Possible Cost | May Depend On |
|---|---|
| Puppy purchase price | Individual puppy |
| Delivery fee | Destination and transportation arrangement |
| Documentation | Applicable requirements |
| International charges | Destination-country requirements |
| Government fees | Applicable laws and authorities |
| Additional arrangements | Customer-specific requests |
Payment
Customers must use the payment method and instructions provided by PuppyHome.
Payment instructions may vary depending on the selected payment method. Customers should carefully follow the instructions provided by our team and should not send payments to unverified individuals or accounts claiming to represent PuppyHome.
Payment is considered received when the relevant payment has been successfully verified.
PuppyHome may delay confirmation, delivery, or collection arrangements until payment has been verified.
Payment Responsibility
Customers are responsible for providing accurate payment information and completing payments correctly.
If a payment is delayed, rejected, reversed, disputed, or otherwise not successfully completed, PuppyHome may pause the order until the payment issue has been resolved.
Customers should retain payment confirmations and related transaction information for their records.
Delivery and Transportation
When delivery is available, PuppyHome will work with the customer to arrange an appropriate transportation method based on the destination and circumstances.
Puppy transportation is different from ordinary parcel shipping. Delivery planning must consider the puppy’s welfare, transportation conditions, weather, distance, availability, and applicable requirements.
Estimated delivery dates are not necessarily guaranteed unless specifically confirmed in writing.
For additional information, customers should review the PuppyHome Shipping Policy and Shipping & Delivery information.
Customer Delivery Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information and remaining available when the puppy is scheduled to arrive.
| Customer Responsibility | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Delivery address | Provide accurate information |
| Contact details | Provide a working phone number and email |
| Availability | Be available during the agreed delivery period |
| Changes | Notify PuppyHome as soon as possible |
| Receiving puppy | Ensure someone is available when required |
| Preparation | Prepare a safe and suitable home before arrival |
Incorrect or incomplete information may result in delays or additional arrangements.
International Customers
Customers purchasing or receiving a puppy internationally may be responsible for complying with the laws and requirements of their destination country.
These requirements may include health documentation, veterinary certificates, vaccinations, import permits, quarantine requirements, customs procedures, or other government requirements.
Requirements vary between countries and may change. Customers are responsible for understanding the requirements applicable to their destination before purchasing.
PuppyHome may provide available documentation and information relating to the puppy and transportation arrangements, but customers remain responsible for meeting destination-country requirements unless otherwise agreed.
Puppy Health and Veterinary Care
PuppyHome takes puppy welfare seriously and encourages customers to maintain appropriate veterinary care after receiving their puppy.
Information provided about vaccinations, deworming, health checks, or other care should be reviewed carefully and confirmed with a qualified veterinarian.
Customers should arrange appropriate veterinary care after bringing their puppy home and follow professional veterinary recommendations regarding vaccinations, nutrition, parasite prevention, exercise, and general health.
PuppyHome does not replace a licensed veterinarian. Questions concerning a puppy’s medical condition should be directed to an appropriate veterinary professional.
Natural Development
Puppies develop rapidly, and individual characteristics can change as they grow.
Changes in weight, coat, color, behavior, size, energy level, and personality can occur naturally.
PuppyHome cannot guarantee an exact adult appearance, size, temperament, or development outcome unless a specific guarantee has been expressly provided in writing.
Photographs and Website Content
Photographs are provided to help customers identify and understand available puppies. Because puppies grow quickly, photographs may not always represent their exact current appearance.
Website content may also be updated periodically to reflect changes in puppy availability, services, pricing, policies, or other information.
PuppyHome reserves the right to update website content when necessary.
Customer Communications
By contacting PuppyHome, customers agree that we may communicate with them regarding their inquiry, order, payment, delivery arrangements, or other service-related matters.
Customers should provide accurate contact information so that important updates can be delivered.

| Phone | Delivery or urgent arrangements |
| Contact form | Questions and inquiries |
| Order updates | Purchase and delivery information |
| Support messages | Assistance before or after purchase |
Customers should check their email and other agreed communication channels regularly during the purchasing and delivery process.
Cancellations and Changes
Any cancellation or change to an order will be handled according to the applicable PuppyHome cancellation terms communicated at the time of purchase.
Customers should contact PuppyHome as soon as possible if they need to request a cancellation, change of delivery information, or other modification.
Once transportation or other arrangements have been made, changes may be more difficult and may result in additional costs depending on the circumstances.
Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the circumstances of the purchase and the applicable PuppyHome refund terms.
Where a refund is approved, the refund method and processing time may depend on the original payment method and the circumstances surrounding the transaction.
Customers should contact PuppyHome support before assuming that a refund will automatically be available.
