Adoption Process

Application approval

Pay deposit & join waitlist

If you have preferences we will note them at this time, such as "red male". Our deposit is $500 & non-refundable. In the event we get to your place on the waitlist & don't have your requested gender we will either: offer you first pick at that point, issue a refund, or apply it to the next litter and give you priority preference.

Await the birth of your litter & follow excitedly on social media!

Pick your pup when it is your turn on the waitlist.

Most often this happens when the puppies are 4-6 weeks of age, but sometimes families feel a connection & choose early on. So keep your eyes peeled & be ready to pick your new best friend! Once you have chosen your pup we will send you regular updates in addition to our social media postings.

Puppy pick up. In the few weeks prior to adoption day we will set up a pick up date & time with you, or set up travel arrangements, if necessary.

We never ship our puppies freight or cargo but are more than happy to help arrange the best way to get your pup safely to you. We are happy to have your pup fly main cabin with us to escort your pup to you.
Within reasonable distances we can sometimes deliver or meet part way with your puppy.
All travel expenses including airfare, gas, lodging, & food for extended trips are at the expense of the buyer.

Pay the remaining balance.

The remaining balance due on your puppy is expected on or prior to pick up. Unless otherwise arranged please be prepared to bring cash. We also accept Zelle as a form of payment. Be advised we no longer accept Venmo as a form of payment on pick up day.
