Please read this entire bio and go to our website vs the adoption site for specific information and to submit our adoption application. 

The puppies will be adopted according to whom is approved via our application process and can meet the litter to choose their puppy and we won't hold a specific puppy for an applicant even after approved to adopt.

Puppies that are not old enough to have received all 3 puppy DHPP vaccines will not be adopted to anyone living in apartments or condos with shared dog area as they are not protected against parvo or distemper until they've received all 3 vaccines.

Our young puppies are adopted on a strict spay/neuter contract. 

The puppies will be DhPP vaccinated according to their age, de-wormed on a regular schedule and micro-chipped.    

Vaccine Protocol is as follows:
DHPP 8-12-16 weeks of age (we start early inoculations)
Bordetella 12 weeks of age
Rabies 4-6 months of age
Adoption fee is $300

​Someone MUST be home most of the time to raise them.  Running home for lunch to check on them just won't work for us or them. Please understand they cannot raise themselves and need someone there to raise them! 
​If you have 15-20 years to devote and commit to one of our babies, please submit your application to get the process started.  

When completing our adoption application for a puppy, please provide the following information on the application.   
1. Explain in detail and specifically:   Your potty training techniques and strategies.

Mama Adeline ended up in a shelter very pregnant and delivered 9   babies there.   The rescue coordinator contacted us to take them as Mama was emaciated and in poor health.   She was not able to even produce enough milk so we split the litter up into 2 foster homes so they could be bottle fed and weaned to healthy, bouncy bundles of beautiful puppies.  
Mama Adeline’s breeds are a mystery but she has a head like a Jack Russell Terrier and fur plus tail like a Labrador with a size in the middle of those breeds in the 40 pound range. .   Her personality and energy is more akin to a terrier.   None of her many babies have her coloring.   They look like herding breed and shepherd mixes with quite the variety of colors.   They will likely be a medium sized adult but we cannot guarantee adult size as there is no way to tell what all breeds are in this beautiful litter.   They all have plush coats, not short but not medium length either… just plush.   With the exception of 1 puppy, the others are all fairly active, playful, snuggly – a really good balance of everything.   Adam was a sleepy head but he's the tri color cutie shown in the photo
