Note: If applying for puppies under 1 year old, we require a dog walking reference, or an adopter home part of the day to ensure the puppy has a way to elimate to continue the housetraining process. This applies to individuals who work outside the home and are gone 8-10 hours with the transportation time included.   Thank you for understanding!

If applying for a long haired breed.  Are you prepared to pay someone $60.00 or more, every 7-8 weeks to groom your pet? FYI: Please understand that many of the Asian Breeds require a lot of grooming. Matting can occur between the pads of their paws and throughout their coat very easily. It’s recommended to take the dog in for grooming every 6 to 8 weeks. This could cost $55+ for each visit.
We take the time to really evaluate and get to know our dogs to help you find the right fit for your family. List the issues below that would cause you to give up or not adopt a pet. We do not judge your answers as a negative so please don't be afraid to answer.
