All animals need to be picked up at our location in Vienna, OH 44473 unless prior arrangements for delivery/meeting have been made. We will meet/deliver an animal within 2 hours of our location for a fee, this fee MUST be prepaid with deposit (to protect us from no shows, or if once we meet you back out of the sale). If you decide to cancel the purchase for any reason prior to us meeting your delivery fee will be refunded to you.

The balance must be paid by credit/debit card or cash on the day of pick up. Animal(s) may leave once payment has cleared. When purchasing an animal, they will leave our farm in good health and up to date on vaccinations and worming. Once the animal leaves our care, we can not be held responsible for any injuries or illness the animal may fall victim to under new ownership. We do not issue refunds for any reason. If an animal is returned it must go through our quarantine and biosecurity protocols the same as any other new/visiting animal and the purchase price of the animal will be used to recover those costs as well as any possible necessary treatment.
