Adoption
If you are interested in becoming an adoptive family please fill out our questionaire... Some breeding seasons may be busy around here while others are more quiet,which means we may have from 0 to 4 litters per year, never breeding before a pug is mature and ready for motherhood/fatherhood, and always breeding with the intent of bettering the breed each time a litter is planned. If you would like to be on our list for a puppy, after you fill out the form we will contact you to let you know what your next step is in the process. If we do not have puppies available for adoption we will refer you to those we personally feel are reputable and responsible breeders in and around New York state. Our adoption prices are based on the dedication it takes to breed, whelp, and raise healthy adults & puppies. We invest a great amount of time, energy and money into bringing quality ~ healthy ~ happy puppies into the world and raising them to be well adjusted for life, and their new adoptive families. We have selectively, and carefully reinvested in quality pug lines that we feel will enhance health and conformation in our breeding program. Adoption Fees Will run from $550 on up depending on quality, for PETS of traditional/standard colors (Fawn & Black) AKC and CKC Whites and Silver/Greys~ Will be a private contract only (adoption fees will be decided by us when we have whites and silvers available) Open/Full AKC and CKC Registration On the rare occasion we would allow full AKC and/ or CKC breeding rights to our pugs. This will ONLY be given to those we consider to have a good breeding plan in place, and would be dedicated to improving the breed.... Be prepared to answer a ton of questions if you are seeking to breed.. Full AKC and/or CKC breeding rights are on a case by case basis to loving, responsible, approved families/breeders... No pug that has been adopted from us is allowed to be surrendered to an animal shelter, these pugs must be returned back to us, no questions asked. We have the right of refusal on all of our puppies should we decide to change our mind on your suitablity as an adoptive home. If we have carefully chosen you as an adoptive family, we then accept a non-refundable half down deposit on all puppies. If your circumstances change and you need to wait until a later date to adopt ~ your deposit will be good toward the adoption of a puppy from a future litter. Please look around and you will see the difference~you will get what you pay for. © McDonough Pug Ranch OUR GUARENTEE We as pug only breeders have done all that is possible to ensure that your new family member is in good health at the time of adoption. It is VERY IMPORTANT to your new puppies health that you provide all necessary preventive vaccinations, provide a healthy diet, regular veterinary care, and adequate living conditions. Please remember that these puppies are given thier FIRST set of shots at 7 to 8 weeks of age because to vaccinate before this age is useless as the mothers immunities DO NOT taper off until the puppies reach this age so ANY SHOTS GIVEN BEFORE THIS AGE ARE RENDERED USELESS. VERY IMPORTANT~ your puppy needs to stay away from outside germs from the time you take him/her home until two weeks after the THIRD set of shots, that means no walks unless it is in your own back yard, no parks, and no pet stores. Each set of shots are given about three weeks apart. We do offer second and third series of shots and wormings here at our ranch, but only to those puppies who have been adopted from us. |
