Puppy Process
Taking in a puppy can be one of the most exciting and rewarding things you do in your life. It also can seem like an overwhelming process. This is why we decided to make a step by step application process to walk you through picking out a puppy all the way to the day you take your puppy home. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Application Process
Fill out the application
Complete the application form to determine if a puppy is suitable for you.
The application helps assess your compatibility with the puppies.
Review and follow-up
We'll review your application and see if we're a good match for you.
You'll receive a follow-up email with additional questions.
You can ask any questions you have at this stage.
Deposit
If your application is accepted, you'll proceed to the deposit stage.
A $500 deposit is required if made before the pups are born.
A deposit of $1000 is required after the pups are born.
Deposit secures your selection position and appointment time.
Selection process
The selection order is based on the order of received deposits.
The number of available puppies depends on the deposits received.
Delayed deposits may reduce the number of puppies to choose from.

Appointment times are assigned when the puppies are 4-6 weeks old.
You'll be notified of the appointment time when it's finalized.
The actual appointment day will be coordinated.
