Puppy Adoption Process

How the Welly Doodles adoption journey works.

The Investment


Welly Doodles puppies are $4,000, inclusive of Florida sales tax. The investment is paid in three milestones across the journey:


• $500 to reserve your spot (applied to your final balance)

• $1,750 at birth, or two weeks after reservation

• $1,750 by week 7, the week of pick day

Every puppy goes home with everything listed below included.


There are no add-on fees beyond delivery, if you need it.


  1. To  start the puppy adoption process, complete the “Puppy Application” form by clicking on the link below.  The purpose of the application is to help us find you the puppy that best meets your family’s lifestyle and personality.
  2. Once we have received and reviewed your application, we will contact you within 48 hours to discuss your application and answer any questions. 
  3. Once we have accepted your application, submit your $500 reservation fee using Zelle (wellydoodles@gmail.com), payable to: Wellington Australian Labradoodles, LLC). When sending the payment, please list your reason as: Your Full Name, Dam and Sire you want a puppy from, Reservation  Fee.  (ex: Lola Smith, Jewels and Tucker Litter, Reservation  Fee). Cash is accepted upon request. 
  4.  Once you have submitted the $500 reservation fee, your place will be secured on our reservation list. This amount will be applied toward the adoption balance. In submitting an application, you are acknowledging and agreeing to our policies and guidelines. ​
  5. When the puppies are born, we will notify you by email.  At this time, we will begin posting pictures to our website and social media accounts so you can watch the puppies grow and develop. In addition, you will receive weekly updates via email on your reserved litter.
  6. At the time of birth half ($1750)of the balance is due or two weeks after initial reservation fee was received. When sending the payment, please list your reason as: Full Name, Dam and Sire you want a puppy from, Birth.  (ex: Lola Smith, Jewels and Tucker Litter, Birth)
  7. Remaining $1,750 due by week 7, before or on selection day. When sending the payment, please list your reason as: Full Name Dam and Sire you want a puppy from, Balance.  (ex: Lola Smith, Jewels and Tucker Litter, Balance)
  8. Puppy temperament and selection process is done between the 7th and 8th week, in the order of the reservation list. Should you not find your perfect match(based on temperament, size, color, gender). I am happy to transfer your deposit onto the next available litter. Each family has a one-hour selection window and must be present or reachable by phone or video during their turn. 
  9. Puppies will be ready to go to their forever homes after  8  weeks of age. Full payment of $4000 must be paid and purchase agreements must be signed before any puppy will be released to its new home.

What are my pick up/delivery options for my puppy?

  •  We prefer not to ship our puppies, especially our hypoallergenic dogs like miniature Labradoodles. We work very hard to build confidence, adaptability, and an easygoing nature in every puppy over their first eight weeks, and shipping alone in cargo would undo that trust in a single afternoon. 
  • Whenever possible, we encourage families to drive in for Gotcha Day. Pickup takes place at our home in beautiful Florida within a two-day Gotcha Day window. 
  • For families who cannot drive in, we offer three options: Airport handoff. We can meet you at Orlando International (MCO), Stanford (SFB), or Tampa (TPA). Your puppy flies home with you in a soft-sided carry-on in the cabin.
  • We get every puppy comfortable with a carrier before departure, ensuring a smooth start to your puppy training. 
  • Preferred: pick up in person in Orlando during the two-day Gotcha Day window. Included.
    Airport handoff at Orlando International (MCO), puppy flies in cabin with you. Included.
    Airport handoff at Orlando Sanford (SFB): $75
    Airport handoff at Tampa (TPA): $250
    Palm Beach County door delivery: $250
    Welly Nana delivery, personal escort to your nearest airport, limited availability: $500 plus the airline ticket
    Extended care after the Gotcha Day window: $35 per day
     
  •  Should you not be able to pick up on the designated days, we will gladly keep your puppy for $35 per day after the go home date. This option will be based on availability.

All puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract. To allow for proper development, owner is responsible to have the puppy desexed at one year of age for females and fourteen months for males. All registration papers are held until proof is received.
