Puppy Application
Thank you for your interest in welcoming a Mapleleaf Golden into your family! We carefully screen all applicants to ensure our puppies go to loving, caring, and responsible homes. We also like to get to know all of our applicants so we can better match the right puppy to their forever homes. Much love, time, and energy has been invested on our puppies to ensure that they become a wonderful treasured family member for many years to come.
Before you can be added to the waiting list for a puppy, we require the completed application, either email or mail to the address below. After, I receive your application I will conduct a phone interview and then we will set up a time for you to visit our home and meet with our dogs. A deposit of $500 is required to be placed on the reservation list and order is determined by date of deposit. This deposit will be applied towards the total price of your new puppy and is totally refundable up to puppy's age of 2 weeks old.
