Adoption Process

Explore our website to make sure we are the breeder for you! You can also follow along with our pups on Instagram and Facebook. Please reach out if you have any questions: 5280bernedoodles@gmail.com

Take the next step toward bringing home a 5280 Bernedoodle by filling out an application. This is the best way for us to ensure that our puppies find families that will love them as much as we have. The application also allows us to fairly assign puppy pick spots based on the first interests we receive.

If your application is approved, we will send you an update within 24 hours of puppies being born. This update will include a picture of the puppies, the total number of puppies we have and their genders. At this point, the waitlist will be open. The first person to apply will get the first pick of their chosen gender and so on.

We do require a $500 non-refundable deposit (Venmo) to reserve your spot on our waitlist. This deposit does apply to the total price of your puppy. The deposit goes toward care for your puppy during the first 8 weeks and ensures the intentions of our waitlist families.

Under the resources tab on our website, you will find a list of products we recommend to make the transition easier for both you and your puppy when it is time to bring them home. There are also helpful articles under Bernedoodles 101.

Research all things puppy; training, grooming, the Bernedoodle breed, everything. We are happy to answer any questions you may have to the best of our ability. You can never be too prepared!

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to watch the puppies grow and start a list of the puppies you like best.

When puppies are 7 weeks old (after their visit with the vet), we will begin puppy picks! We will have a prescheduled Facetime appointment for you to get a better look at the puppies and make your final choice. Appointments will be offered in order of waitlist spots.

When the puppies turn 8 weeks old, they will be able to go home with their families. We call this Gotcha Day!

We will schedule a time for you to come pick up your puppy. You will also receive a Gotcha Day gift bag from us that includes important items to get your puppy off to the best start.
