Our Promise to Our Pups
We assume a lifetime responsibility for every puppy we send home. Our Homes for Life program is the result of this commitment and our dedication to preventing pet homelessness.


We understand that for unfortunate and unforeseen reasons sometimes customers who purchase our puppies can no longer care for them. For this reason, our customers agree that, they would relinquish the dog to us, not a shelter, so that we may find them a new, loving home.
Adoptable Dogs
Please help us find homes for these special dogs!
Bandit has done very well in his training program and we are looking for a loving, gentle owner to adopt him. He is generally friendly and playful and LOVES kids but should not be in a home with small children who do not understand boundaries with dogs as his issue is pressure that causes him to stress. He is loving and bonds quickly, and will be a great companion to a dedicated owner who understands his boundaries.

Vader also completed a board and train program in which he stole everyones heart! He is great with obedience and generally a gentle dog who is sometimes weary of other dogs.

Giving Back
Therapy Dog Luna just turned one!

Earlier this year we had the pleasure of donating this sweet little Havanese puppy to an excellent retirement home, Countryside Living. Since then, Luna has learned many tricks and stolen the hearts of all who reside and visit this beautiful facility. We love to see how loved she is and the impact she has already made on their lives.
