Our Process

​

Thank you for considering a pup from us! Here’s a step-by-step guide to how our process works:

1. Submit an Application
   Please start by completing our application form. This will help us get to know you and understand what you want in a puppy.

2. Choose Your Wait List Membership
   Select one of our membership options:

   • Early Choice Select Waitlist– Offers priority access and exclusive benefits.

   • Essential Pet Package Contact List – Provides updates and access to available puppies after Early Choice Select members.
     (Payment links for membership plans can be found here)

3. Stay Connected
   You can keep up with updates through our Facebook group or via text and Messenger. We rely on your commitment to this puppy to make sure you are up to date with what is happening. We encourage reaching out to us at any time. 

4. Review Our Policies and Guidelines

   • Be sure to read our Microchip Policy.

   • Check out the How to Get Your Puppy Home  page for transportation options.

5. Exclusive Access to Available Puppies
   Depending on your membership level, you’ll receive early notifications about available puppies:

   • First in Line members will receive updates before Essential members, giving you priority in choosing your puppy.

6. Reserve Your Puppy
   Once you decide on the puppy that best fits your family, we’ll send you a contract to sign and return, along with a 40% non-refundable deposit.

   • First in Line members can subtract $400 from this total.

7. Virtual Meet & Greet
   Due to safety concerns, on-premises visits are not permitted. However, we offer virtual options:

   • Early Choice Select members receive 15 minutes of weekly video chat time with their puppy and one or both of us.

   • Essential Pet Package members can join weekly live sessions on Facebook and Messenger.

8. Veterinary Health Check
   Waterville Veterinary Clinic will examine your puppy at 8 weeks. You will receive a copy of the health report and an update via email or Messenger on how the visit went.

9. Arranging Transportation
   If your puppy is found healthy and fit by our veterinarian at the 8-week check, you can choose to:

   • Arrange local pickup.

   • Contact  USDA licensed J & S Pet Transport for Air Pet Nanny or Ground Transport Services.
