Contracts on Good Dog

When you're bringing home a puppy through Good Dog, your breeder may send you an electronic contract to review and sign. Electronic contracts make it easy to complete this important step from your phone or computer – no printing, scanning, or mailing needed!

How it works
  1. You'll get notified: When your breeder sends a contract, you'll receive an email alert and a notification in your Good Dog messenger. The contract will also appear in your to-do list as a step to complete.
  2. Review the contract: Open the contract from your to-do list and read through all the terms carefully. You can review it on your phone or desktop.
  3. Sign electronically: When you're ready, simply click to add your electronic signature. Electronic signatures are just as legally binding as traditional paper signatures.
  4. Access anytime: Once signed, you can always access your contract through your to-do list in Good Dog messenger whenever you need it.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What if my breeder uses paper contracts instead?
A: That's completely fine – some breeders prefer paper contracts! If your breeder uses paper contracts, you can manually upload a signed copy to your Good Dog to-do list for your records.

Q: Are electronic signatures legally binding?
A: Yes! Electronic signatures are just as legally binding and secure as traditional pen-and-ink signatures on paper contracts.

Q: Where can I find my signed contract later?
A: You can always access your signed contract through your to-do list in your Good Dog messenger. This gives you a secure place to review or download your contract whenever you need it.

Q: What is the certificate page at the end of my contract?
A: Once both you and your breeder sign the contract, Good Dog automatically attaches a certificate page with details like the signing date and who signed it. This serves as an official record of the signature process.
