Homes for Life

Dexter needs a home!

Dexter completed Obedience Camp and is ready for his forever family!

This handsome Shar Pei – Bassett hybrid is 5 years old and about 40 lbs.

Dexter loves his people immensely! All he needs is someone to love him and dedicate some time to his follow-up training. If he has this love and care, plus his own blanky, he is a happy boy!

He has a mellow personality once settled into his home and is extremely obedient. He enjoys lounging around, cuddling, and going for short walks.

Due to a lack of structure, he struggled with guarded behaviors in the past, but he is a great dog who just needs the right home.

Included in Dexter's adoption:

8 weeks of follow-up classes, plus two hours of private lessons at Partners Dog Training.

He would do best in a home with someone without children who lives a more solitary lifestyle and will spend the time needed with him. Preferably someone with experience with the breed or type of dog. We would love to see Dexter with a veteran or someone who just needs an obedient and loving companion.

All training is paid for and there will be no adoption fee for the right home. There will be a screening process to ensure the right fit.

If interested in Dexter please email us or call 602-255-0166 ext. 215.

Treat Your Dog To Healthy Ice Cream

This Summer

One of our favorite ways to keep our puppies cool and happy is by making puppy-safe “ice cream.”

Healthy summer treats shouldn’t just be for humans! However, before you share any old popsicle with your puppy, consider the ingredients. There are many things in human ice-cream and other “treats” that can be dangerous for your dog to ingest.

FRAUDULENT DOG SALES

#1 COMPLAINT TO BBB

America has seen a huge spike in online puppy scams in the last year. It is hard to resist the temptation of a cute puppy at a low price. However, many people are seeing that these online offers are simply too good to be true.

These scammers offer an enticing price for a puppy, then go on to charge more and more fees until they eventually stop responding, leaving innocent customers waiting for a puppy they will never receive.

"MyForeverPuppy" is just one example of these unscrupulous operations taking advantage of people seeing companion pets. Read more here.

Buyers Beware: Never make a purchase without meeting the puppy first and/or verifying the source is credible,

professional, and compassionate for their animals!

We hate to see puppy scams so much that we saved a Valley family's Christmas by surprising them with a puppy after they fell victim to a devastating puppy scam. Watch the surprise unfold here!

Store Updates

Our puppies LOVE to play in our “Paw Pits” and agility equipment!

Not only are these cute and fun, they provide a great socialization and exercise opportunity for them. Gently introducing puppies to something new like this gives them a chance to build up confidence and expands their sensory experiences.

Our stores are still using an appointment model to secure times to privately meet a puppy, but we are allowing walk-ins as long as we are not at limited capacity. Thank you to everyone for your continued cooperation and understanding during a tricky year!
