​So you've decided to adopt a puppy from SFC but need shipping arrangements made with our pet nanny service. No problem. We got you covered. We have been using the same pet nanny service for almost 5 years now. Our pet nanny service is licensed, bonded and insured. 

​

Hesitant on the thought of shipping? That is understandable, but I can assure you, I wouldn't put the puppies or dogs we place in harms way. We have had most of our original breeding stock shipped to us from all over the country when we began our program. I have plenty of experience with shipping dogs to customers as well as receiving dogs too. I've been on both sides. We ship our puppies with a trusted pet nanny service.

​

Shipping is available to new owners that are located in the United States only. Shipping is arranged by Salem's Finest with a party pet nanny. Our nannies deliver to most locations or will get to the closest international airport possible. There may be a bit of traveling on your end. Please keep that in mind.  Pet nanny's fly on standby to keep the costs down, so this results in flights getting changed prior or during the delivery. Standby means that there are no available seats for our pet nannies so they have to wait for the next flight or they may reroute and find an alternative route t your location. They keep us updated in real time so we are always aware of the travel itinerary. If you want your puppy delivered to you on an exact date/time and do not want to risk possible delayed flights, paid seating options are available with our pet nanny service, but this is double the price. 

​

Puppies fly in the cabin in the care of the pet nanny. We provide our own traveling bags for the puppies to ride in. You will get to keep this travel bag at the time of the delivery. All of their essentials will be packed inside the bag for safe keeping. They will have food, water and nutrical provided to them during traveling. 

​

The charges are an additional $500.00-750.00 depending on location. On average, $550. This includes the fee for the pet nanny and the fee to deliver your pet. It's the least expensive method to choose if you are needing delivery service arranged.

​

 You will be responsible for paying a small deposit to our pet nanny service and then the remaining balance by Cash to the nanny assigned to you for the delivery when your puppy is delivered to you. A photo will be taken of you and your puppy and sent to me for delivery conformation. 

Once we get closer to the date of releasing your puppy, I will contact our pet nanny service and set up a reservation. This can take a few days to hear back from them. Once they have our reservation request, they will present to me an estimated itinerary for us. At this point, a deposit would be due to hold our request. You would visit the pet nanny's website to submit the deposit. The day before our scheduled delivery, we will receive a group text message from our pet nanny who is doing our delivery with more precise information such as flight numbers and details pertaining to our exact delivery. 

​

​

Please be aware that this does not include the delivery charge that is also taken into consideration for needing shipping. The traveling fee is an additional charge of $200.00. If I have to meet you at the Portland airport or in the Portland, Oregon area, this fee will be added to the final payment on your puppy. There is no additional charge to pick up your puppy in Salem, Oregon- which is my hometown. 

​

 Puppies must be over 9 weeks before they can be shipped. More than one puppy can be shipped together for one shipping charge to the same family, but two puppies is the maximum and you will still have a fee of $100.00 more for the additional puppy. Please be advised that we do our best to get you your new puppy, but sometimes weather conditions can prevent a flight from taking off on time or may cancel an existing departure time that may have to be rescheduled. Salem's Finest will do their best to get you your puppy on time, but safety comes first.
