Adopt a Puppy
How To Adopt a Puppy?
At this time, we are accepting applications for adoption for puppies that will be ready to go over the next couple of weeks. We do have a few sweeties that can be viewed in our Available Puppies Photo Album.... Click To See Them Now!!
To get one of our puppies we require that you send in a signed contract and a $200 deposit to reserve a puppy, there can be a 4-9month wait for one of our puppies but we assure you that it is well worth the wait. I'd be happy to give you a call and discuss the possibility of adopting a puppy that would be available to go home during the time frame that works best for you.
Please read our Forum daily for the most current and up to date information about the puppies.

What do I do until the puppy comes home?
Please read our Puppy Care Page.
Puppy Travel Plans:
I will need to know who will need their puppies shipped ($350 delivery fee) and who is planning on picking up. If you are planning on flying into Pensacola Airport and have your puppy delivered for the $75 fee, you need to schedule your flights now for lowest fares. Please make sure you schedule that with me as well. Puppy pick-up appointments need to be scheduled as soon as you know your schedule.
When Is The Balance Due?
The balances for these puppies will be due at 4 weeks old, puppies unconfirmed or unpaid for will be offered to next family on the list. If this is a problem just let me know, I am willing to work with you if you let me know.
This is not a good time for me to adopt, what can I do if I would like a puppy at a later time?
If this is not a good time for you to adopt a puppy, you are welcome to send in your application for adoption of upcoming puppies, along with the $200 deposit, as long as you realize that it could take 4-6 months more to get your Schnoodle.
How Do You Match Up the Puppies?
I like to talk with the families that want to adopt once you are on our waiting list to get an idea what you’re looking for in your puppy, it’s nice to know why you chose the Schnoodle and to learn more about our puppy’s potential new families.
I like to know if you need this puppy for therapy work, or if you are allergic to dogs, if you prefer a curly coat, wavy or shaggy coat. Would you prefer a larger puppy or a smaller sized puppy? Most of the puppies are similar in size but there may be one that is a bit smaller and if that suits your needs best, please let me know.
If you prefer your puppy to be from a specific litter, I really need to know that right away. I will try to work that out for you.
I look forward to hearing from you. If you have questions that I did answer, Please feel fee to or call at (251) 960-1311.
