Forever Friends Labradoodles Puppy Contract (Summary)
At Forever Friends Labradoodles, our goal is to place healthy, well-socialized puppies in loving homes. The following summary highlights the key terms of our puppy purchase agreement.
Companion Pet Placement

Health Guarantee
Each puppy is examined by a veterinarian before going home and receives age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and preventative care.
Buyers are required to have their puppy examined by a licensed veterinarian within 5 days of pickup to confirm the puppy’s health.
If a life-threatening illness is diagnosed within 10 days of possession, the puppy may be returned for either:
a full refund, or
a replacement puppy if available.
