Bringing Your Golden Retriever Puppy Home

Our Promise

Hand-Delivered Transportation

At Vermont Golden Meadows, our golden retriever puppies are never simply shipped from one place to another. Every puppy is accompanied with the same love, care, and attention they have known since the day they were born in our Vermont home. From the moment travel arrangements begin until your puppy is safely placed into your arms, they remain in the loving care of Vermont Golden Meadows. Our puppies travel in-cabin and are never transported as cargo or handed over to a third-party transporter.

Your Puppy's Journey Home

Airport Meet & Greet

For families throughout New England and beyond, Vermont Golden Meadows offers hand-delivered, in-cabin golden retriever puppy transportation with a pre-arranged airport meet and greet. Your puppy will remain in our loving care throughout their journey home and will never travel alone or as cargo. We will communicate every detail of your puppy's travel plans in advance so that all you need to do is look forward to one very special moment — the first time you hold your newest family member in your arms. We are honored to be a small part of your golden retriever's journey home.

What to Know

Travel Requirements

Bringing your golden retriever puppy home should be a joyful and stress-free experience. To help ensure a safe and smooth journey for your family and your puppy, we ask that the following requirements be met for all transportation arrangements:

• ✦Golden retriever puppies will be eight weeks of age before traveling and will have received age-appropriate veterinary care prior to going home.
• ✦Families are required to sign the Vermont Golden Meadows Puppy Purchase Agreement before transportation arrangements are finalized.
• ✦Transportation deposits are required to reserve your puppy's delivery date and begin making travel arrangements for their journey home.
• ✦Families receiving airport delivery are asked to arrive at the agreed upon meeting location and remain available by cell phone on the day of travel.
• ✦If weather, airline restrictions, or unforeseen circumstances create an unsafe travel situation, Vermont Golden Meadows reserves the right to postpone transportation until safe arrangements can be made.
• ✦Our first priority will always be the safety, comfort, and well-being of every golden retriever puppy entrusted to our care.

Transportation

Planning Your Puppy's Journey Home

Every family's journey is a little different. Transportation arrangements for your Vermont golden retriever puppy are based upon your location and whether your puppy will be traveling by car or by in-cabin air travel.

Once travel arrangements have been confirmed, a non-refundable transportation deposit is required to reserve your puppy's delivery date and begin making travel arrangements. The remaining transportation balance will be due prior to your puppy's scheduled journey home.

We are happy to discuss the best transportation option for your New England family and provide an individualized transportation quote based upon your location.

Our goal is simple — to ensure every golden retriever puppy arrives home safely.
