Adoption Fees

An Update to Our Puppy Adoption Fee

Unfortunately, due to our continually rising costs, we can no longer offer the puppy adoption discount. Effective immediately, our puppy adoption fee will return to our original fee of $3,000.

We work very hard to keep our fees as reasonable as possible while continuing to provide the quality care, health testing, veterinary care, nutrition, and loving environment that every Marlos Goldens puppy deserves.

Like many families and small businesses, we have experienced significant increases in the costs associated with raising and caring for our dogs and puppies. One example is the high-quality dog food we use. Our most recent purchase of Orijen dog food increased by 25% compared with what we previously paid.

Unfortunately, increases like this across many areas of our operation make it impossible for us to continue absorbing these additional costs while maintaining the level of care and standards we are committed to providing.

Our goal has always been to make adopting one of our puppies as affordable as possible without compromising their health, nutrition, veterinary care, socialization, or overall quality of life.



We truly appreciate your understanding and support. When you choose a Marlos Goldens puppy, you are not simply adopting a dog—you are becoming part of the Marlos Goldens family, and we are committed to giving every puppy the best possible start in life.

• The Credit Card (CC) fees are 3.0%
• Deposit required to reserve your puppy =$500 + $15.00 = $515.00
  ($15 is the CC Processing fee)
• Final payment due before pickup or delivery = $2,500 + $75 = $2,575
  ($75 is the CC Processing fee)
• Total cost = $3,000 + $90 = $3,090 ($90 is the total CC Processing fee)
