It has been over a year since we donated Luna, this extra special Havanese puppy, to Countryside Assisted Living.
Today, she is the most adored dog in the state of Arizona and spends her time loving on and entertaining the residents of this beautiful place. What a joy she is!

We had the pleasure of visiting Luna with some puppy friends! It was so great to see how well she is doing with her big family. She is absolute character and ray of sunshine for all. |

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.
We do this to ensure that we may find them a new, loving home but first to provide them with the rehabilitation and care that they may need in addition to a neuter/spay as part of our commitment to responsible pet ownership.

To ensure that all of our puppies find homes in a timely manner, we reduce their price as they age.
By no means are we lowering the cost of these puppies because they are in any way less valuable, but it’s our mission to find each of our puppies a permanent, loving home as quickly as possible.

Charlie & Daisy the Weimaraners
We want to spotlight this beautiful Weimaraner pair for their awesome achievements in training and their owners dedication to responsible pet ownership!
Answers from Dog Mom, Kandace:
How do your dogs make your lives better?
Spending time with Charlie (4 years old) and Daisy (6 months old) is the most beautiful way to live in the present. They require structure and consistency in daily rhythm and try live to love, work, and enjoy each moment we have together. I grew up with small dogs Charlie was my first big dog, I was nervous and knew I wanted a balanced, happy dog to enjoy adventures with. The bond we developed training together the last 4 years has been incredibly rewarding for both of us. My husband and I decided to grow our family and bring sweet little Daisy home with us in February. We knew we wanted another Weimy and only hoped she would be as amazing as Charlie. They are each so unique but also very similar in mannerisms and heart. We are so blessed to have them and incredibly grateful to Cindy Mickey of Old Oakhill Farms Weimaraners who breeds immaculate pups and raises them with love - that’s the only explanation for how awesome our pups already were when we brought them each home!
Tell us about them?
Charlie is such a mix of kindness, humor, strength, loyalty, athleticism, and pure handsomeness. He is without a doubt the dog essence of my husband in many ways. They are so much alike it was one of the ways I knew I would marry my husband when I met him. Daisy is a 50/50 mix of sweetness and sass and she loves to cuddle.
Tell us about your dog training process?
With each dog, we treat training as a lifestyle, it’s in our daily routine. My husband and I are both athletes and treat training our pups just as we treat our own training and daily habits. Outside of that, we have worked with 2 trainers in the valley; Charlie did his board and train when he was 6 months with JDs Powerhouse Canine Bootcamp. He did Rally, Agility, Dock diving, and Scent Detection at Hunter Canine with Coach Storm, now Inertia Canine. Storm has been invaluable in helping us be the best dog parents we can be and has had an awesome influence on Charlie’s development. He loves her and so do we. Storm had just helped us complete Daisy’s puppy training and off-leash / e-collar training. We often hike with the dogs and want off leash freedom and confidence with them.
How was your experience with Puppies ‘N Love?
We had a wonderful experience making the decision to take both of our dogs home. They were both big decisions we made with a lot of thought and care. Your team was patient with us in both experiences! With Daisy, they let us bring Charlie to meet her so that we felt great about her joining our family.
How sweet are they? We commend you & thank you for sharing!

ARIZONA RANKS HIGH ON BBB'S LIST OF PUPPY SCAMS COMMITTED IN 2022 |
|

If you are looking for a puppy, be careful & remain vigilant!
Here is how to spot a puppy scam online from AKC:
-
No phone calls. The seller prefers to handle communication by email and not the phone. A reputable breeder will always communicate with you via phone or video chat (if not in person) before selling you a puppy. Fraudulent sellers are oftentimes outside of the U.S. and may be hiding their phone number by only communicating by email.
-
Copycat or stock photos. Photos of the dog or ad text can be found on multiple websites. Search for the text or reverse image search the photos on Google to find out if they were copied.
-
Sketchy payment. The seller asks for wiring of money or payment by gift cards. Be aware that if you choose a non-secure method of payment, it is highly unlikely that you will get your money back. Avoid paying a stranger using apps such as Venmo, as it is harder to get your money back if you don’t get what you paid for.
-
Price is too good to be true. Research the prices for the breed you are considering. Purebred dogs sold at deeply discounted prices are typically frauds. If the seller says they register their dogs with a specific organization, you can call the organization to confirm.
