Investing in an Integrity Golden Retriever means bringing home a healthy, well-socialized companion bred with excellence. Please review our detailed financial and selection policies below for more information on the adoption process.
Policies
Our General Waitlist Policy
We maintain a structured General Waitlist to keep the process fair for every family. Your place on the list is determined by the date your application is approved and initial contact is established.
When one of our mamas goes into heat, everyone on the General Waitlist will receive an email with the opportunity to declare interest in that specific litter. If the timing or pairing isn’t right for you, simply don’t respond—you’ll remain on the General Waitlist for a future litter.
Because interest in IGR puppies is high, we recommend joining the General Waitlist up to a year before you hope to bring your puppy home.
Deposit Policy
Once your application has been approved, a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your place on our general waitlist. This commitment helps us plan our litters effectively and ensures that each puppy goes to a dedicated and prepared home.
Payment Policy
When puppies are born, a $1,000 deposit is due; for most families, the $100 already paid to join our General Waitlist is applied toward this amount. When puppies are 4–5 weeks old, we host a Puppy Open House where families can meet and enjoy the litter, and the next $1,000 payment is due. Both of these payments may be made electronically.
The final $2,500 balance, plus applicable sales tax, is due before your puppy goes home. Cash is preferred for the final payment; families choosing to pay electronically must ensure payment is received by IGR at least four days before pickup.
Which Pup Is Mine
We know our puppies because we live with them 24/7—and we take the time to get to know you, too. Throughout the process, we learn about your family, lifestyle, and what you’re hoping for in a puppy. By combining that with our daily observations of each puppy’s temperament, energy level, and personality, IGR carefully matches each puppy with the home where we believe they will thrive for a lifetime.
Breeder Selection
IGR reserves the right to retain a puppy from any litter for the future of our breeding program. This decision may be made at any time during the litter’s development and may adjust the selection order for families on that litter.
