Help (Deposit)
 

put a deposit down on a male Yorkie. The day before i was suppose to pick him up. I received a call from the breeder saying he was at the Vet on a IV. She said his two sister died and she thinks he has Parvo. She told me if he didn't make it she would return my deposit..He passed the next day. She sounded upset and i told her when she was ready call me and we will talk about the deposit. After a week and half i never heard anything. I called her and ask about her upcoming litters. She said she had a litter coming in Dec but, had 3 people on her waiting list. I told her since she couldn't guarantee and male i will go ahead and get my deposit back. She agreed and said she would send out that Friday..A week later nothing.So, e-mailed her for the status. She replied that the puppy died of Corona and her and husband think that with the high Vet Bill that they don't think they should send the deposit and on her sight she states the deposit is non refundable. I reminded her she told me she would send my deposit back and she said she misspoke out of grief I feel it is non refundable if i decided not to get the pup.I never had the pup in my possession..Does anyone have any suggestion on what i could do to get my deposit back..Help

i am so sorry this has happened. I don't know how you can get your deposit back tho. My contract states that my deposits are non refundable but if the puppy dies while in my possession then that is my fault and to me that's a no brainer. The deposit should be returned. As far as I am concerned, the non refundable is for things like if the buyer just decides they don't want the puppy or don't pick it up when they are supposed to. GEEZZ it's just common sense that if it dies in my possession, then I owe the deposit back. i hope you get the money back.

I am sorry to hear that. I think a deposit is not refundable if the owner changed his/her mind. In this case (your case) I think you should have your deposit back. Good Luck!
