At Big Sky Bernedoodles, we are dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for our puppies. Our adoption policy is designed to ensure that each dog is placed in an environment that meets its needs and that our families are well-prepared for the responsibility of pet ownership.

1. Application Process

• Application Form: Interested adopters must complete an adoption application, providing information about their household, lifestyle, and experience with pets.
• Interview: Once the application is received, we will schedule a phone or in-person interview to discuss your application and answer any questions.

2. Home Visit

• Home Evaluation: A home visit may be required to ensure a safe and suitable environment for the puppy. We want to ensure that your home is a comfortable and secure place for our Bernedoodles.

3. Adoption Fees

• Fee Structure: An adoption fee will be required to help cover the costs of care, vaccinations, and spaying/neutering. The fee will be discussed during the application process.

4. Education and Preparation

• Owner Responsibility: We require all adopters to attend a basic training course with their puppy to ensure proper socialization and obedience training.
• Resource Provision: We provide educational resources on puppy care, training, and health to prepare you for your new family member.

5. Health and Care

• Veterinary Care: All puppies will be up-to-date on vaccinations, deworming, and vet checks prior to adoption. We encourage adopters to continue regular veterinary care.
• Return Policy: If, for any reason, the adoption does not work out, we require that the dog be returned to Big Sky Bernedoodles rather than being surrendered to a shelter.

6. Commitment to Lifelong Care

• Lifelong Responsibility: Adopters must commit to providing a lifelong home, including proper nutrition, medical care, and companionship. We believe that a Bernedoodle is a family member for life.

7. Communication and Support

• Post-Adoption Support: We offer ongoing support and advice to all adopters. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns as you transition with your new puppy.

Thank you for considering adding a Big Sky Bernedoodle to your family! We look forward to working with you to find the perfect match.
