Puppies are paid for in cash.

You MUST have an approved travel carrier to take your puppy home. Please do not  expect to drive home with a wiggly puppy on your lap. 

When purchasing a Maltese puppy from Bella Dolce Maltese:

1. Cash is the only method of payment I accept. (This means cash, not electronic transfer). I do not accept checks for final payment.
2. Please arrive prepared, especially if arriving on a Sunday as banks are not always open for cash withdrawals. You will need your cash payment and a crate or approved airline carrier to travel home with. 
3. Please arrive in a timely manner. You will have one hour at my house to meet your new Maltese puppy and to have me answer all of your questions. I often have other appointments after you, and schedule on the hour, please be courteous of my time as well as the other families.

If you are having your Maltese puppy shipped to you:

1. Please speak to me in advance about this. All puppies are paid in full prior to leaving my house. Typically I use  Zelle payments. I sometimes have my flight nanny pick up the final cash payment for me. This must be arranged ahead of time and is not always possible.

Placing a deposit on a Maltese puppy:

1. I do NOT hold puppies without a $1000 deposit. I do accept deposits for my Maltese puppies that are less than 12 weeks old, with the remainder due upon pick up when they are ready to leave my home.

Deposits are non-refundable. Please be sure this is what you want. 

All waiting list deposits are $200- Cash, Check, or Zelle.

**All final payments for puppies are paid in cash.

Any puppies or dogs that are over 12 weeks of age, must be paid for in full. If you cannot pick up your Maltese puppy when they are ready to leave, typically 12 weeks old, $40 per day boarding fee’s may incur. No cash refunds are given if you change your mind on purchasing your Maltese Puppy.

Scheduling Visits or Pick up:

1. Any appointments to meet with me, visit your puppy or pick up your puppy must be done during the day. I do not make evening appointments.
2. I do not allow your pets to come into my home.
3. Appointments are 1 hour long or less.
