Puppy Policy

If you have placed a deposit on a pup, the remaining balance MUST be paid within 2 weeks of making deposit or by the time the puppy is 6 weeks old.  If you have not paid the balance within 2 wks after you make deposit or by the time the pup is 6 weeks old, you will forfeit your deposit.  If you wish to go ahead and still get your puppy, you will be required to pay an additional $25.00 per week boarding fee that your puppy stays here past 6weeks on pick-up pups and 8 weeks on shipping pups.  All puppies come with all their shots up to date and have been wormed starting at 2 weeks old.  We guarantee the pup to be in good health the day you pick it up from the airport.  If, within 7 days of the date of sale, your Vet believes the pup to be sick, you agree to return it to us at your cost and we will replace it with another pup if one is available at our cost.  If no pup is available to replace the sick pup, you will have to wait for another litter.  "NO Cash Refunds-NO Exceptions!"  For a replacement pup you must have the puppy being returned, seen and checked by a Licensed Veterinarian, and you must have all records supplied to us.  You MUST do this within 2 days of the date of sale.  Date of sale is the day the pup is shipped to you.  If not done within 2 days, there will be NO replacement pup given.  Should the pup die within 7 days, you will have to supply us with a Licensed Veterinarian's "Certificat of Death" with cause of death and any treatment given.  If death is caused by accident or poisoning we are NOT responsible and no replacement will be given.  We will NOT be responsible for any Veterinarians bills or other bills the owner may incur after the purchase date of the puppy.  If you place a deposit on a certain pup and then decide later that you do not want it, we will NOT refund your deposit.  You may change your mind on which pup you want if there are any other available pups in the same litter.  Rios' Pit Bull Kingdom will not ever be responsible for any vet bills that you obtain after you receive your pup.  Rios' Pit Bull Kingdom will not ever be responsible for any shipping fees if you choose to send the pup back to Rios' Pit Bull Kingdom.
