A copy of the medical record as well as the receipt is necessary for verification, along with the veterinarian’s phone number to follow up about the procedure.

In the case of the puppy's demise on or before the above-listed date, a written statement from your veterinarian must be sent to Gateway 2 Little Paws, stating that the puppy has indeed passed away and the cause of death. This is an unfortunate step but necessary. In a perfect world, we would like to have each puppy we place stay in their original purchasing home.

Should we not receive confirmation of the puppy's spaying or neutering by the above-listed age of 16 months, as the original purchaser, you will then be liable for the dog’s full purchase breeding value of an extra $500 plus $500 in violation fees which is the sum of $1000 paid to the seller.
By my signature below, I agree to have this dog spayed/neutered by the age of sixteen months (16 MONTHS), and I understand that this spay/neuter agreement is an agreement that this dog will NOT produce a litter of puppies either as purposely bred or by accidental breeding. I also agree that should the puppy not be SPAYED/NEUTERED, I will return said puppy back to the seller/breeder with no refund.
