How To Apply For a Nickel Lab Puppy!
WE NO LONGER CARRY A WAITLIST.
We now hold applications on file and when you're ready for a puppy, you can contact us when a litter is born and we will choose from the available families for that specific litter. Families that have been on our previous waitlist that are ready for a puppy, will have first priority.
You will need a current (within 2 years) application on file to be considered.
To apply:
1. Fill out the application below!
2. Return it to Nickellabradors@gmail.com
3. Wait for a litter to be born!
4. If you are ready to take home a puppy when a litter is born, email us when we ask you to on social media/website!
5. The applicants that emailed us to let us know they are ready for a puppy will get thrown into a pile, we will review all of the applicants and choose families based on those that have waited the longest and who we think is the best fit for one of our puppies!
6. Wait for us to contact you to let you know if you've been chosen for a puppy in that litter!
7. Pay a $500 deposit when you have been chosen
8. If you were not chosen, we will hold onto the applications for future litters!
We can not guarantee a specific timeframe for a puppy. We only have 2-3 litters per year.
Please feel free to fill out the application and return it to us by email at Nickellabradors@gmail.com
Also....we are looking for as much information about you as possible, so that we can get to know you and your family/lifestyle. Please fill out the application completely, so that we can get to know you! If you only put "yes" or "no" type answers, you will most likely not be considered for a puppy! The purpose is to get to know you, so we know if we want to place a puppy with you!
So, please be thorough in your answers! Points for pictures, cuz I like to see dogs! :)
Download the application below. You can either copy/paste and make a new document to type out your answers or copy/paste it to an email and type out your answers in an email.
If you have any questions, please let us know!

Picking Up Your Puppy
We do not ship puppies in cargo!
We do allow the puppies to fly with you in the cabin as a "carry on". We recommend first class, as it is much more comfortable for you and your puppy. We can meet you at the Grand Rapids & Traverse City airports free of charge. If we have to travel to Detroit, Chicago or Lansing to meet you, we do charge an additional fee, but we are happy to meet you at the airport.
You can choose a pick up date between 8-9 weeks of age. We will contact you to schedule a date that will work for you. If we have to keep your puppy additional days after the dates available for pick up, you will be charged an additional $30/day boarding fee.
