Our Promise to You & Your Pug
Bringing home a Pug puppy is far more than a simple transaction—it marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship filled with snorts, snuggles, and endless companionship. We pour our hearts into raising each puppy with patience, intention, and the kind of care we would give our own children, and we deeply respect the commitment you make in return.
Life, however, does not always follow the path we expect. If unexpected circumstances arise that prevent you from keeping your Pug, we respond with kindness, clarity, and an unwavering commitment to your puppy’s well-being.
Below is our transparent and family-centered approach to returns, exchanges, and lifelong care—crafted not as a cold legal contract, but as a promise from our family to yours.
🌟 Our Foundation: Health, Care & Preparation
Every Pug puppy leaves our home with:
- Comprehensive genetic health testing of both parents, including OFA evaluations for hips and patellas, plus BOAS screening to ensure clear breathing
- Early neurological stimulation and daily socialization from birth, surrounded by family life
- Full veterinary wellness checks, age-appropriate vaccines, multiple dewormings, and microchipping
- Gentle temperament observation to help match your lifestyle—whether you seek an active playmate or a calm lap warmer
This level of care reflects our devotion—not simply to breeding, but to ensuring every Pug thrives in their forever home.
⏳ The 48-Hour Grace Period: A Thoughtful Pause
We understand that meeting your Pug in person can reveal new insights. That is why we offer a 48-hour window from the moment your puppy arrives in your care to request a return or exchange—only in cases of genuine incompatibility, such as:
- Newly discovered severe allergies in a household member
- Unexpected housing restrictions (sudden policy changes by landlord or HOA)
- Significant temperament mismatches not evident in prior video updates
- Unforeseen family emergencies that make puppy care impossible
This is not a “trial period.” Puppies are living beings, not products—and we ask that this window be used with sincerity and care. A Pug’s bond with their family forms quickly, and we owe it to them to make thoughtful decisions.
🔄 Your Options Within 48 Hours
If you contact us within this window, we offer two respectful pathways:
1. One-Time Puppy Exchange If another Pug in our current or upcoming litter better suits your home—in energy level, temperament, or even coat color—we gladly facilitate a one-time exchange, subject to availability and breeder approval.
- Only one exchange per family
- The original puppy must be returned in healthy, unchanged condition (no injuries, illnesses, or behavioral issues developed in your care)
- Travel coordination is handled with care and compassion; we help arrange safe transport
2. Partial Refund (Case-by-Case) If an exchange is not possible, we may offer a partial refund (typically 50–75%), provided:
- You share complete care logs and veterinary records from the time in your home
- The puppy is returned safely and promptly, in good health
- Circumstances are reviewed jointly by our family and veterinary advisor
Please note: No refunds or exchanges are available after 48 hours. Once your Pug bonds with you, rehoming can cause emotional stress—and we prioritize their emotional well-being above all.
🚫 What Is Not Covered
We cannot accept returns or issue refunds for:
- Normal Pug behaviors—snorting, snoring, shedding, stubbornness, following you everywhere, occasional house training accidents, or that determined pug stare when treats are involved
- Changes of heart due to unmet expectations or lifestyle adjustments you had not considered
- Financial hardship unrelated to true emergencies (we offer payment plans upfront to help avoid this)
- Requests made after the 48-hour window—after that, our Forever Home Promise takes over
We encourage all families to prepare thoroughly by researching the breed, puppy-proofing their home, and asking us every question that comes to mind. We are here to help you succeed.
📞 How to Reach Out
If you believe a return or exchange may be necessary:
- Contact us within 48 hours via email, text, or phone—do not wait
- Share your situation honestly—we listen without judgment and want to understand
- Provide photos, vet notes, or videos if relevant to the concern
- We arrange safe, stress-free return transport (we cover return travel costs when needed)
We aim to respond within 2 hours during business hours and within 12 hours on weekends. Your peace of mind matters.
❤️ Our Forever Commitment: The Pug Lifelong Sanctuary
Even after the 48-hour window closes, your Pug remains forever part of our family.
If life circumstances change dramatically—job loss, serious illness, military deployment, housing crisis, or even the loss of a partner—we offer our Lifetime Rehoming Promise:
- We take your Pug back into our care at no cost to you, no matter their age
- We place them in a loving, vetted forever home—someone who understands the breed and will cherish their wrinkled face and curly tail
- You receive updates if you wish, because peace of mind matters even years later
This is not a refund. This is a vow: We will never let one of our Pugs face uncertainty alone. They started with us, and they always have a place with us.
💬 We Are Here Before, During & After
