Adopting Your Fur Baby:
We have a process for how we pair our puppies with the perfect homes and families. It is very important to us that our puppies have the best lives possible and to ensure this we carefully select each person or family through an application process.
We do have a waiting list but pups are not chosen till they are older and have opened their eyes:
We have found the best possible way to match puppies with their new families is to accept applications for each individual puppy that is available. We've found that a waiting list was less effective when trying to pair specific puppies with their potential new families if allowing the pups to be chosen to early. A person might love the look of a puppy and want that look but simply not like the personality of the pup once they have purchased it which leads to the pup not being wanted or taken care of correctly. Instead we try to find out as much as possible about the potential family ( lifestyle, personality, how much time they have to spend with their new puppy, ect.) Then we can let them know the different traits of each pup to get a good match. "Bottom line is if your a laid back calm person you don't need a puppy who is full of energy bouncing off the walls, it would drive you nuts, but instead you need a loving laid back pup to fit your needs." It takes much time and effort on our part to review numerous applications and interview families and we realize that not every puppy we have will be the right fit for everyone. This being the case, we will now review applications and conduct interviews based on people being interested in specific puppies when they become available for reservation at 3-4 weeks old. We feel this saves everyone time and emotional distress that might result from the anticipation and disappointment of a puppy pick not working out.
Pictures, videos, price and description will be posted on our Facebook page for everyone to review, along with the application. You can also find the application under the more tab at the bottom of this page. Applications should be emailed to mckinleybaker34@yahoo.com and along with several questions, we will also require you to indicate which puppy or puppies you are seriously interested in. We have so many wonderful families to choose from and we want to make sure each of our very special babies find the perfect homes. After the applications are reviewed we select people to contact for a phone interview. If after the interview all seems to be a good fit for both breeder and applicant, we require a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve your puppy. That deposit goes towards the full price of the puppy. Full payment is due one week prior to pick or delivery at 8 weeks of age or at the time of pick up. We do offer to keep your puppy unit 10 weeks of age to allow us to continue its training to also help make it as much a well behaved potty trained pup as possible at a young age. We also have lifetime support for all our pups and their owners, no question is to silly to ask at any time you need our help. Please also try to let us know how you would like your pup potty trained! Do you want it to go outside, or use a puppy pad ect. we will try to train to your specific needs.
Please like us on Facebook for the latest news and updates on upcoming litters. We post several pictures often and tend to select families that build a relationship with us prior to application time. If you are friends or family with one of our past puppy families, please let us know, excellent references go a long way.
***Please note*** We do not save applications. If you have applied in the past and were not selected, you will need to apply again for future puppies. Not being selected does not mean you were rejected, we simply have an abundance of applications to review for each available litter and just not enough puppies for each wonderful family. We feel very fortunate to have so much interest in our beautiful puppies and we very much appreciate your continued patience and support. If you have applied in the past we want you to know that we take that into consideration as well, so please be sure to mention it!
