Our Adoption Process of Our Goldendoodles for Your Family

We try to take the stress and hassle out of searching for the perfect pet by making sure our adoption process is uncomplicated and straightforward. Here are a few steps to help you understand the process of adoption from Hesterberg Doodles.

Step 1: Educate Yourself 

Since picking out a puppy is like choosing a new family member, we encourage our customers to do their research. There is a wide variety of dog breeds with specific traits so carefully study and determine which breed will best fit your family.  As responsible breeders we care about each of our animals and want each one to find the family best suited for them. Also take time to get to know us, the breeder, what we offer and whether or not our puppies are right for your family.

Your will find information on all our available puppies here. We are constantly updating our website with available puppies and sold puppies so if you fall in love with a puppy on our website and it says “available,” you can be confident that it is.

Step 2: Contact Us

The next step is to contact us by email or phone. Here at Hesterberg Doodles we believe that you should get to know your breeder and we want to get to know all our customers as well. This will help ensure that our puppy is the best fit for you and your family. Before placing a deposit, we ask that you get in touch with us and we will help you find the perfect puppy. If you see a puppy that you like, reach out to us. We are eager to meet you!

Step 3: Reserve Your Puppy

Once we’ve answered all your questions, the next step is to reserve your puppy with a $200 deposit. To reserve a puppy, click on the "Make A Deposit" button. If you have already decided on a specific puppy, simply put his/her name in the preference field during checkout. 

Once you’ve placed your deposit, you will receive an email from us confirming your payment that will show which puppy you have reserved as well as the remaining balance due for your puppy. Our goal is make the entire adoption process stress-free and uncomplicated. If any issues come up during the process, we will contact you immediately and do our best to work it out together.

If all our puppies are reserved or sold, you can sign up to receive an email notification as soon as we have a new litter! We will never share your information or send spam.

Step 4: Watch YOUR New Puppy Grow

Once our puppies reach a minimum of 8 weeks old, they will be ready to make the transition from our home to yours. Until that time, we will upload new pictures to your puppy’s online profile each week so you can watch their growth, health and development.

While you are waiting, we encourage you to begin getting your home prepared for the arrival of your new puppy. You can email or call us with any questions that you may have. We are always happy to give training tips and recommend specific things to have on hand when you welcome your new Goldendoodle puppy into your home.

Step 5: Bringing Your Puppy Home

Plan to pick up your new puppy in person. We will make arrangements for you to arrive at our facility on an agreed date and time so you can be prepared. Our recommendation is that puppies are picked up toward the end of the week so that you have the weekend to adjust, but  understandably that will be dependent upon your home and work schedule.

The final payment will be due at the time of pick up. Please arrive prepared with the correct amount of cash to ensure a smooth transaction.

Step 6: Settling In With Your New Puppy

The first few weeks of having a new puppy in your home are important. Establishing a routine early will help your puppy settle in more quickly. Be patient! Your puppy will need time to adjust to you and its new environment. Since he/she is just 8 weeks old, they will have a lot of learning, growing and socializing to do. If you are consistent, provide the right care, and lots of love your Goldendoodle will become a gentle, patient, and affectionate companion.
