Adopting a puppy at Foglesongs
This is where you will find ALL the information about HOW & WHAT to expect when getting a puppy from Foglesong's Puppies
How to Adopt a Puppy From Us
If you're looking for a puppy and you see one on our website that you're interested in adopting, you can contact me with any questions. Text of Call 641-895-3894. You then will need to fill out a Puppy Application on the website and submit it. Once the Application is received I will look through it and be in touch with how you'd like to place a deposit. We do non-refundable deposits of $300 via Invoice to email or Venmo. If you DO NOT wish to place a deposit ahead of time and would like to come see a puppy and choose in person we do accept that as long as they are 6 weeks or older and we make an appointment. Keep in mind that it is first come first serve on the deposit and we do not hold a puppy without a deposit. Wether you have placed a deposit or come in person to pick a puppy, once that is done you will need to make a Vet Appointment for a Wellness Exam within 72 Business Hours after picking up your puppy. I will provide all necessary shots, & paperwork for your puppy once picked up.
Waitlist & Selection Adopting Process
If you have placed a deposit for an upcoming litter or a younger than 5 week old litter this is the process you can expect. We do puppy selection between 5-6 weeks of age. We do them via pictures & videos. If you do not wish to pick that way, then you will have to be moved to the end of line and wait to select in person at 6 weeks of age or after from any puppies that are left. We try to keep it as fair as possible to everyone on the waitlist and puppy families that don't live close. I will keep families posted on selection day and time. Selection goes in order of deposit. If you choose not be on a specific litter then you will need to let me know by 4 weeks of age. We schedule pick-up dates after selection is completed! Keep in mind I have a busy schedule as well and I try to pick a couple of dates during the week and on Saturday for pick-ups but I can't always guarantee a certain weekend. We also do deliveries for a fee. We DO NOT do pick-ups on SUNDAYS or after 3PM during the week.
Updated Photos for all puppies
Updated Photos are done every 10-12 days or so. I understand the excitement of getting a new puppy and you want more pictures but I keep to a schedule to ensure every puppy and puppy family as well as my own gets adequate amount of my time. I usually do videos after 6 weeks of age when puppies become more playful and curious. We do ask that our puppy families have patience as it takes alot of time to raise, socialize and care for these sweet puppies and that's our top priority. I try to keep families updated as much as I can.
Puppy Pick-Up Day
The pick-up day usually consists of about 15-25 minutes. I will have all shot records, and microchip information in a puppy packet along with a puppy blanket, shampoo, and some food in a bag for you. If you pick up here you will have a paper to sign in my office, and then you may ask any questions you have otherwise we will go over a few things and take your picture with your new puppy and then you are off to go. FINAL PAYMENT is due in Cash or Venmo unless otherwise discussed. WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHECKS! If meeting somewhere you will sign paperwork via email before & only CASH will be accepting if meeting as it may not be me your meeting. We DO NOT do kennel tours due to Disease control and the safety of our mommies and babies. Please understand the importance of our dogs is a TOP priority. We understand the fear of puppy mills, I can assure you our dogs are happy and healthy. We can also so show a live camera view when you pick up.
If you are more than 15 minutes late you may be asked to wait until all others have picked up as we have to be courteous to all families on pick up day!
