Deposit & Waiting List Policy – Impressive Cartwright Standards
A $50 non-refundable Application Processing Fee is required to secure your placement on our Waiting List. This fee confirms your interest and ensures priority notification when a litter becomes available.
Please note: this fee is non-refundable but will be applied toward the final purchase price of your puppy.
When our dam enters her breeding cycle, families on the Call Back List will be contacted in the order in which their fees were received. At that time, a $500 non-refundable (but transferable) Reservation Fee will be due to secure your spot on the Pick of the Litter List.
Picks will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis based on gender and color preferences indicated at the time of reservation.
We require a $500 deposit to reserve your place on our Active Waiting List. This deposit will be applied to the final price of your puppy at the time of adoption.
Refund Policy (Before Reserving a Puppy)
If you decide to withdraw at any time within 1 year of your deposit date and before reserving a specific puppy, we are happy to refund your deposit, minus a 15% processing fee. This helps cover our administrative costs.
You may request a refund for any reason during this 1-year period as long as a specific puppy has not been reserved.
Active Waiting List Placement
Only approved applicants who have submitted their deposit are placed on our Active Waiting List.
Please note:
-
Application approval alone does not place you on the list.
-
You are not officially in line for a puppy until your deposit has been received and processed.
Approved applicants are listed in the order deposits are received.
After Reserving a Puppy
Once you reserve a specific puppy, your $500 deposit is no longer refundable but will still be applied to the final purchase price of your puppy on Adoption Day.
If your plans change after reserving a puppy and you decide not to move forward with the adoption, your deposit will be forfeited. Should you wish to adopt in the future, a new deposit will be required to reserve a different puppy.
Flexibility & Understanding
We understand that life circumstances can change unexpectedly. That’s why we offer the flexibility to withdraw from our Waiting List at any time within 1 year of your deposit date—before reserving a puppy—with only a minimal 15% processing fee deducted from your refund.
