Just to be placed on my waiting list, the wait list deposit is $200- Cash, Check, or Zelle. If you are placing a deposit to hold a particular puppy, the deposit is $1000.By sending deposit, you are acknowledging that you have read, understand & fully agree with the contract & all amendments listed. Also, that you fully acknowledge that you are sending a non-refundable deposit.  All dogs or puppies fall under my contract whether you read it, sign it or not.

Once again, deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE! Be sure this is what you want and that you have answered truthfully and honestly on your application.

When purchasing a Maltese puppy from Bella Dolce Maltese:

1. Cash is the only method of payment I accept for final payment. (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 your Maltese puppy. 
3. Please arrive in a timely manner. Most people spend an hour at my home when picking up their new Maltese puppy. I explain all documents, feeding and care instructions, then we can do Q&A.  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. 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.

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.

**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.
