HEALTH GUARANTEE & CONTRACT

The following health guarantee is a binding agreement between Salvation Farm and the identified buyer,  referred to as “Buyer”, for the sale and purchase described of one puppy identified as “Puppy.” Failure to comply with the requirements below will void the contract and health guarantee.

The Breeder's Responsibility

Salvation Farm works to place each puppy in the best-fit home based on Buyer needs/wants and Puppy temperament. Salvation Farm guarantees that the Puppy will be delivered to the Buyer in good health, with all of the required vaccinations. Salvation Farm’s vet checks all of Salvation Farm’s puppies to ensure they are healthy and ready to go home with their new family.

The puppy will stay with Salvation Farm until they are 9 weeks of age. The Puppy will have at least one detailed examination by our qualified veterinarian.

The Buyer’s Responsibility

Salvation Farm requires that the Buyer have the Puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian of their choice within 72 hours of receiving their Puppy. The Buyer must provide proof that the Puppy was seen by the Buyer’s veterinarian within 72 hours of receiving the Puppy. Proof of the examination can be the invoice the Buyer is given when checking out at the veterinarian’s office. Please email kate@realfoodrn.com once the visit is complete. Failure to provide proof that the Puppy was examined by the Buyer’s veterinarian will void this health guarantee.

The Buyer is aware that the Puppy can have parasites like Giardia, coccidian, or roundworm. It is the Buyer’s discretion if they want to start the puppy on a de-wormer.

If the Buyer chooses to vaccinate the puppy: it is the Buyer’s responsibility after the Buyer receives the Puppy and until the completion of the Puppy shots to keep the Puppy away from public places such as parks, puppy classes, and pet stores.  Until the Puppy's vaccinations are completed the Puppy’s immunity is not strong enough to be exposed to dangerous viruses. We have used homeopathic alternatives to vaccinations on our dogs in the path if you want to look into those.

The Buyer agrees to provide large breed puppy food (Salvation Farm suggests Life's Abundance Lamb & Rice All Stages Blend), provide an appropriate living space, give daily exercise, and regular veterinarian care.

If the Buyer is unable to keep the Puppy, the Buyer must notify Salvation Farm and return the Puppy to Salvation Farm so a new home can be found. The Buyer agrees to not place the Puppy in a shelter or rehome the Puppy.

The Buyer agrees that the balance is due at the time the Buyer takes full possession of the dog. The balance of the purchase price is to be paid in cash, through Paypal, or Venmo. Electronic payments must be transferred to Salvation Farm a week in advance of "Selection/Go Home Day" to ensure the final payment clears the account before Go Home Day. 

If the Buyer can not pick up the Puppy on "Go Home Day" an additional charge of $50 per day will be charged for boarding accommodations. The Buyer agrees to pay the balance of the dog on the original "Go Home Day" and arrange to pick up the puppy within one week of "Go Home Day." Boarding accommodations are only available for up to one week following "Go Home Day" or up to 10 weeks of age if the Puppy is purchased after "Go Home Day."

It is the Buyer's responsibility to arrange travel from Salvation Farm's home to the Buyer's place of residence. Puppies flying out of state must be accompanied by the Buyer in the airplane cabin. The Buyer agrees to arrange all travel plans and follow all airline requirements for flying with the Puppy. The Buyer agrees to choose an airline that allows an 9-week-old puppy to fly with the Buyer in cabin. Travel arrangements are the sole responsibility of the Buyer unless traveling options have been arranged with Salvation Farm at the time of placing a reservation fee. 

Salvation Farm likes to remain in contact with the Buyers. We love to receive updates and photos throughout your puppy's life. The Buyer allows Salvation Farm to use any pictures of the Puppy that the Buyer posts on social media for the purposes of reposting and sharing on Facebook, Instagram, their website, YouTube or in any manner they choose. 

Salvation Farm’s Genetic Health Guarantee

Salvation Farm provides a 1-year health guarantee against any serious genetic illness that affects your Puppy’s quality of life. This health guarantee is void if the Puppy has had improper veterinarian care, had inadequate diet or exercise, becomes overweight, or been exposed to diseased animals

The Breeder makes no guarantees in regards to the loss of the dog because of accidental death, theft, sickness, cancer, or any other loss beyond the Breeder's control.

Salvation Farm's Breeding Rights Agreement

The Breeder transfers breeding rights to the Buyer for the sale of the Puppy. Salvation Farm does not guarantee breeding quality of the Puppy. It is the Buyer's responsibility to complete genetic testing to ensure the Puppy is of breeding quality.
