The credit goes toward another puppy purchase. (iii)We do not offer cash refunds nor pay medical bills, but rather credits are given toward another puppy from us. If a credit toward a future puppy is not an option for you, then do not purchase from us. I am a widow, and do not have income from a husband or mate, so cash refunds are not an option offered.
