Frequently Asked Questions

To adopt a puppy, you can start by submitting a puppy application (/puppyapplication)on our website. Then, we will follow up with you to confirm we have or are planning to have the puppy you are looking for and answer any questions you have. We’ll guide you through every step of the process to ensure a smooth adoption experience. You can also check out our FAQ's related to our adoption process for puppies already born and for puppies expected in the near future!

At Harvest Creek, our puppy adoption process is designed to ensure a smooth and fair experience for all families interested in our Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cavapoos, and Petite or Mini-Goldendoodles. Occasionally, we will know which puppies are available from a litter soon after the puppies are born. However, most of the time at least some of our puppies from each litter are reserved. Puppy selections occur when puppies are approximately 5-6 weeks old and are prioritized in order of reservations received. During this time, we begin contacting families with reservations to help match them with the best puppy for them. This ensures a fair and organized adoption experience, allowing our clients to choose their new family member with care and confidence. If space is available on our reservation list for the litter you are interested in, you can reserve a puppy by sending the puppy application (/puppyapplication)on our website and deposit. If any puppies are available after puppy selections are made at 5-6 weeks old, we will make them available on our website. We’re excited to help you find the perfect puppy to join your family!

To reserve a future puppy (i.e., join our waiting list) from Harvest Creek, please start by contacting us directly for detailed information about upcoming litters and availability. Next, you will need to complete our Puppy Application, which provides the information necessary for your puppy's paperwork and helps us match you with the best puppy. Once your application submitted, you can send the $200 non-refundable reservation fee via Venmo or other methods. The reservation fee secures your place on our waiting list and is applied toward the final purchase price of your puppy. Please note that the reservation fee is non-refundable, as it helps us manage our breeding program and commitments. Our process for reserving a future puppy is outlined below. 1. Contact us for details. 2. Complete the Puppy Application. 3. Send a $200 (non-refundable) reservation fee via Venmo. The reservation fee holds your spot for a puppy on our waiting list. The reservation fee goes toward the final purchase price of your pup. The reservation fee is non-refundable, but it is transferrable to another litter.  4. We will contact you as soon as a litter is born, but puppy selections generally occur when the puppies are 5-6 weeks old. Once you select a puppy, the remaining $200 of the deposit will be due.  5. We will keep you updated on your puppies progress until go-home day. 6. Final payment is due on or before puppy go-home day.  We take pride in raising healthy, beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Cavapoos, and Mini-Goldendoodles here in Central Iowa and look forward to helping you find your new family companion.
