Deposits

 

We accept deposits to reserve a puppy of your choosing.   If you express interest in a particular puppy, we strongly recommend placing a deposit to hold the puppy.    We do not allow any "holds" longer than 12-24 hours without a deposit placed on a puppy.

 

 Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE.

 

 If the purchase price of a puppy, not including shipping, is over $1000, the minimum amount to hold a puppy is $400, unless otherwise discussed.  If the purchase price, not including shipping, is less than $1000, the minimum deposit is $250, unless otherwise discussed.   The deposit amount counts toward the total purchase price of the puppy.

 

 If you choose to make the first payment in a higher amount than the deposit, only the required deposit amount of that payment will be considered the deposit and non-refundable.  

 

Deposits are NON-TRANSFERABLE  (from one puppy to another). 

 

If a deposit is placed, or a payment made for a particular puppy, that puppy will remain posted on our website as "PENDING" until the puppy leaves for a new home.  

 

 

 

Payments

 

Any payments made will be discussed beforehand

 

We accept different forms of payment.  Online credit/debit card, postal money order, and cash are the preferred methods.  We do allow a combination of these forms of payment.  

 

Personal checks: We do accept personal checks; however, only if the puppy will not be leaving for a new home for 2 weeks.  This is to allow the check ample time to clear our bank. 

 

Credit/Debit Card: We send you an invoice through PayPal using this payment method.  The amount will be discussed beforehand.  You DO NOT need a PayPal account to pay this invoice.  You can pay with a debit card or credit card by following the instructions in your email.  An email address is required.

 

Postal Money Order: We do accept certified money orders issued from the post office or bank.  This must be discussed beforehand.

 

Cash: Preferred method of payment for puppies that are picked up or personally delivered. Please do not send cash through the mail.  

 

Payment Plans:

 

We understand that sometimes the price of your dream puppy is a bit out of immediate reach. Starting payments as early as possible will allow more time to make payments that are comfortable for particular budget.  Placing a deposit on the puppy of your choice, then making payments that fit your budget restrictions, is an option we are willing to provide. 

 

PAYMENT PLANS ARE SET UP ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.    

 

We also allow payment plans to be set up for any puppy we have.  The amounts and frequency of payments can be discussed and agreed upon prior to first payment.  It will be determined-beforehand-the amount, frequency, and time allotted to pay for a puppy depending on age.    Ideally, the puppy should be paid in full by 8-12 weeks of age, but no longer than when the puppy reaches 16 weeks of age.  Should this happen, then additional charges will be incurred for boarding and continued care and feeding of your puppy. 

 

Failure to provide payment in full within the allotted and agreed upon time frame will automatically forfeit your ability to receive reimbursement.  If at ANY TIME you are unable to fulfill the agreement, PLEASE speak with us to make necessary adjustments to the payment plan.  

Because we are offering a personal payment plan, we are very flexible and incredibly willing to work with you and your situation. 

 

 

NO PUPPY WILL LEAVE THE PREMISES WITHOUT BEING PAID IN FULL.  NO EXCEPTIONS

A puppy will not leave our premises prior to reaching 8 weeks of age.

 

 

 

 

Shipping/Delivery/Pick-up

​

New policy in effect as of April 1, 2024:

IF YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO BE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES LATE TO THE AGREED MEETING TIME, WE WILL IMPOSE AN EXTRA $25 FEE.

IF YOU KNOW  YOU ARE GOING TO BE MORE THAN 45 MINUTES LATE, WE WILL RESCHEDULE THE MEETING.

WHILE WE DO HAVE A FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE, IF WE AGREE ON A PARTICULAR TIME, WE EXPECT PROMPT ARRIVAL AT THE AGREED UPON TIME.  IT IS NOT AN OPEN ENDED INVITATION/ARRIVAL TIME. 

BE RESPECTFUL AND CONSIDERATE OF OUR TIME AND EFFORT WE HAVE MADE TO ACCOMODATE YOUR TRAVEL AND TIME CONSTRAINTS, AS WE HAVE YOURS.

 

We offer different ways for you to receive your puppy. 

 

Shipping: We are unable to fly puppies alone ('ship') to new destinations due to COVID restrictions and PetSafe airline programs being suspended.  

Options:  flying to us in Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln, or Kearney), driving to our location, using a pet nanny to safely accompany your new puppy on the plane, or contacting a ground transportation company. 

Get in contact with us to provide you with contact information for a flight nanny or ground transport.

 

Delivery:  We MAY also offer to meet a buyer at an agreed upon location.  Not only will this help to ease the driving distance, but also helps the pocketbook a bit with fuel cost.  We usually do not offer to meet at a location that's further than a hour's drive of our location.  This method may be/is only used if the buyer is not within a 2.5 hour drive of our location, is out of state, or otherwise may be unable to drive.  This will be discussed prior to purchase of a puppy.  You will receive paperwork and anything that is included when you purchase a puppy from us.  We will have a copy of the health contract for you to sign and keep.  There are no additional costs associated with this method.

 

Pick-up:  This is our recommended method to get your puppy.  It allows for both you and the puppy to meet and become more accustomed to each other in a safe setting that the puppy is more comfortable with.  We do also encourage you to bring along any pets (dogs) you currently have so they can meet.  The location of pick-up is discussed prior to buying or meeting a puppy.   There are no additional costs associated with this method.

 

 

If you are interested in a puppy (or more than one!) we do allow a home visit to meet the puppies.  This is to be arranged beforehand.  We will need to know which puppies you'd like to see and any adults (parents of puppies) AT LEAST 24 hours prior to the meeting.

If we have a home visit scheduled, we cannot guarantee to hold a puppy prior to your arrival without a deposit being paid.

 

We do allow a third party to act on behalf of the buyer when picking up a puppy, as long as this is arranged prior to pick up, shipping, or delivery.

 

Sometimes, we are not as able to easily accommodate a preferred meeting time as others, so we appreciate your flexibility and patience in setting up a time and day.  

We do not have any set hours, as our little fur babies require round the clock care.  We strive do our best to be available when your schedule allows.  

We are located in Central Nebraska

Custom Health Contract Terms

 

Every puppy purchased who leaves our premises will come with a 1 year health contract. It will detail the date the puppy is sold, price of the puppy, shipping cost (if any), method of payment, name and address of buyer, and name and address of seller (Puppy's Play Pen).  It is to be signed and dated at time of delivery by both parties when the puppy is picked up or delivered in person.  If the puppy is to fly to a new owner, the health contract flies with the puppy and will be signed by the Seller (Puppy's Play Pen).  

 

If needed, this contract will be signed by Puppy's Play pen, scanned, and emailed to the buyer prior to delivery/pick up/ shipping.  We will provide another copy if the puppy is picked up or delivered in person.

 

Below, you will find the detailed contract terms for every puppy that leaves our premises:

 

"This puppy is being sold as a pet and a family companion and should be spayed/neutered prior to 10 months of age, unless otherwise discussed.  All puppies or dogs sold by ewokiluv.com that will be used for breeding(s) and show competition purposes, whether by an individual, hobby breeder, or by a professional, is the buyer's sole judgment and choice.  We do not raise puppies to be sold as breeders, but when a breeder does buy puppies from us with the intention to have litters to sell, it is the buyer's responsibility to determine the suitability of such puppies.  Overbites, joint problems, testicle problems, slipping jaw, infertility, or any cosmetic defects that do not result in organic disease, or which might show up as an adult, are not covered by this guarantee.  Those possible defects should not be passed on to the offspring.

To the best of the breeder's knowledge, this puppy/dog is free of disease and defects at the date of this sale.  Any estimated grown weight is only a best guess and not guaranteed.

 

A health certificate will need to be obtained for the puppy/dog traveling out of state by air or vehicle.  The buyer has 72 hours (4 days {96 hours} if delivered/picked up on a Friday or weekend) from the time of delivery/pick up to have the puppy/dog checked by the veterinarian of the buyer's choice at the buyer's expense.  Time frame has been extended to allow for Covid-19 delays with veterinarians.  Nebraska state law requires a puppy to be taken to a vet of the buyer's choice within 7 days.  Failure to have the puppy vet checked within this time frame-by the buyer-will void this guarantee.  This requirement is in the best interest of the puppy as only the vet can determine issues the puppy/dog may have at the time of sale.  If the buyer's exam reveals that the puppy/dog is sick or diseased, or a genetic defect is found that would result in a reduced quality of life, and a vet of the breeder's choice concurs with the diagnosis, then the buyer may return the puppy/dog to the breeder at the buyer's expense.  Notice of intent to return must be given to the breeder within 48 hours of the vet's findings, along with a statement in writing from the buyer's vet as to the health problem.  Any genetic defect, which falls under the reduced quality of life category that presents itself within one year, will also be covered under this guarantee.

 

This puppy/dog is sold with no additional warranties, expressed or implied, other than those stated herein. A replacement puppy/dog will be made when one becomes available, and a replacement is the only option.  No veterinary bills will be paid by the breeder.  It is the seller's responsibility to sell a healthy puppy that will hopefully live a long, happy life.  It is the buyer's responsibility to see that it stays healthy and safe.

If the purchaser chooses to resell this dog, this guarantee will be considered null and void and is non-transferable.  If any legal actions are brought against the breeder/seller, the litigation must be in the jurisdiction of Buffalo County in the State of Nebraska. 

The new owner accepts the conditions of this contract when the puppy is picked up at the airport or delivered in person. 

The buyer does not have the privilege to change the terms of the contract.

 

HAVING READ THE ABOVE, AND WITH FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTENTS HEREIN, I/WE CHEERFULLY ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

We are required to include Law 54-647 into the health guarantee contract:

Pursuant to Nebraska Dog and Cat Purchase Protection ACT:

54-647. Recourse to remedies; purchaser; duties; notice to seller; remedies

Laws 2009, LB 241, § 14, eff. Jan. 1, 2010."
