Payment Options and Information
To reserve a puppy for adoption within the state of Illinois,
a minimum deposit of 50% is required.
Out of state adoptions must be paid in full
in order to put a hold on the puppy of interest and facilitate the adoption.
To reserve a puppy, we offer a few options.
If the adoption is taking place in person, the individual may either pay with either cash or use our PayPal account ONLY.
No checks or money orders will be accepted.
Absolutely NO exceptions will be made.
For out of state adoptions, payments must be: sent via PayPal or Zelle. We honestly feel it is the safest option because for both the clients and us. Adoptive families can be assured that we never see your credit card number, when sent through Paypal or Zelle. We neither take nor ask for a client's credit card information, ever.
For PayPal instructions and e-mail address on that account, please e-mail us at either:
MagnoliaAcresPuggles@gmail.com or MagnoliaAcresBeagles@gmail.com
Or, you may phone us at either of our numbers: 815-979-9911 or 815-836-4790.
We will then generate an invoice so that the amount can be paid and the puppy will then be reserved.
Once a puppy is reserved or purchased, but is still with us due to being
under the age of 8 weeks, this puppy is marked as Reserved on the Available Dogs & Puppies
page and is not shown to any other individuals or families seeking to
adopt a puppy. We also send weekly photos to the adoptive family
so as to see the puppy maturing and to know that the puppy you reserved is the very same puppy you are given at 8 weeks.

Non-refundable deposit
All Magnolia Acres dogs and puppies fall under this category: deposits are non-refundable for any reason other than what we list below.
We do reserve the right to withdraw from the adoption agreement at any point between the deposit's placement and the date puppy is due to be picked up. There may or may not be a full explanation provided as to why a puppy's adoption is being cancelled on our end.
If we cancel the agreement, we give the client a choice of what they would like to do from there. If there is another puppy available from the litter, he or she may be picked and the replacement puppy will be free of the adoption fee; a refund of the paid deposit will be given within two weeks of notification even if a replacement puppy is chosen. If the adoptive party does not want a replacement puppy, the full refund of the deposit will be made within two weeks of written notice of the withdrawal. That said, this has not been done in many, many years but we still reserve the right to withdraw from the agreement, with or without explanation apart from the fact that the agreement is being cancelled.
Exceptions to the Deposit Rule
Now, if *anything* happens to the puppy or dog whilst still in our care, before the puppy is eight weeks of age, the deposit is no longer considered non-refundable. If there is an injury or illness/death, we notify that adoptive family immediately after we have spoken with our veterinarian. We then offer the adoptive family from one to three options, at our sole discretion, depending on the situation and dog/puppy involved:
1. Refund of the deposit
2. Replacement puppy/dog of equal or greater value once one is available,
with no time limit on the production of said puppy
3. Accept the originally chosen puppy at 8 weeks for up to a 50% discount, or for simply the deposit fee, depending on nature of injury or illness.
