Pre-adoption consultations

We have an extensive knowledge in dog behavior, breed characteristics, health considerations, and the art of matching dogs with families. Our experience includes successfully pairing dogs with families through shelter adoptions and collaborating with breeders to match puppies. We are committed to staying current on the most ethical breeding and rescue practices, as well as the latest advancements in genetic disorder testing and health disorder testing standards. 

We understand that every family and individual is unique. Through our personalized consultations, we sit down with you and go over your family dynamics, living situation, wants/needs, dealbreakers, and expectations for your new dog. During your consultation we address everything from helping you select the ideal breed or breed mix to how to helping your new pup's transition home be as stress-free as possible.

Rescue Dog Consultations: If you're considering adopting from a rescue organization, we'll guide you through the process. We can help you understand what to expect and how to choose a dog that aligns with your expectations. Additionally, we assist in selecting a transparent rescue that provides honest behavior history and individual temperament traits. 

 
Breeder Guidance: For those interested in purchasing a puppy, we'll assist in identifying responsible breeders who prioritize health, temperament, and ethical best breeding practices such as health testing, puppy raising and socialization, choosing pairings, and veterinary care and husbandry; along with being transparent in all areas of their program.
