Deposits & How they work...
Deposits are tricky... I accept a $500.00 deposit to hold a puppy. This doesn't mean the puppy is yours yet, it means I'm holding it for you to purchase.
Why is it non-refundable if you change your mind? Because I have taken that puppy off the market, away from other interested party. While I might easily be able to re-sell the puppy fast, it might take some time as the puppy is older now. It might take a month or two which leaves that puppy bonding to me. Your deposit is paying for that baby's upkeep and marketing since you decided you didn't want it. Harsh words, I know. But, you did ask. Of course, there are circumstances that would bend that rule. IF I chose to refund your deposit, it would be my choice only, and when the pup re-sells. I HATE when people let a pup down.
