What to Expect During the Puppy Adoption Process
Our puppy adoption process is simple. Start by browsing our available puppies, choose the puppy that fits your family, and then work with us to arrange the details for bringing your puppy home.
1. Find Your Puppy
Start by browsing our available puppies to see which puppies are currently looking for their new families.
Take a look at each puppy’s information and photos, and contact us if you have questions about a puppy, breed, size, personality, or availability.
Once you find a puppy that feels like the right fit for your family, you’re ready to move on to the next step.
2. Reserve Your Puppy
Once you’ve chosen your puppy, a nonrefundable deposit is required to reserve them.
Your deposit reserves your selected puppy for your family. The remaining balance is due when your puppy is in your hands.
We accept:
- Venmo
- Credit card
- Cash
If you have questions about the deposit, remaining balance, or payment options, contact us before placing your deposit.
3. Bring Your Puppy Home
When your puppy is ready to go home, we’ll work with you to arrange pickup or delivery.
If you’re traveling to Ohio, you can arrange a pickup at our location:
6999 Co Rd 407
Millersburg, OH 44654
For in-home pickups, a 7% Ohio sales tax will be charged.
If you can’t make the trip to Ohio, ask us about our delivery options. We offer transportation options for families throughout the United States. Available transportation depends on your location, your puppy’s go-home date, and the transportation options available for your route.
What to Expect When Bringing Your Puppy Home
We want you to have the information and records you need when your puppy joins your family.
Before your puppy goes home, you’ll have the opportunity to arrange your pickup or delivery and make sure you have everything needed for the transition.
Your puppy will go home with important health records, documentation, supplies, and information about their care.
