Adoption Process

Reserve Your Puppy Today!

Once you’ve identified a puppy from a current or upcoming litter that you’d like to reserve, please fill out our application. This helps us ensure the best match between you and your future puppy while also guiding you to assess your readiness for puppy ownership. As responsible breeders, we are committed to providing our puppies with loving forever homes.

Choosing Your Litter

After submitting your application, we’ll work with you to determine which current or upcoming litter you prefer. Whether it’s a current litter with available reservations or a future one, we encourage early reservations, as many clients reserve puppies up to a year or two in advance. Please note that specific puppy selection occurs in order of deposits once the litter reaches eight weeks old.

Secure Your Spot with a Deposit

Once we confirm that you’re a suitable match for one of our puppies, we’ll reach out via email to request a $700 deposit through our online form. While deposits are non-refundable, they can be transferred to a different litter if your schedule changes or if you decide against reserving from your chosen litter.

Preparing for Your Puppy’s Arrival

If you’ve reserved a puppy from an upcoming litter, stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates. Once the litter arrives, we’ll post photos on the Current Litters page approximately one week later, with additional updates at four to five weeks and again at seven to eight weeks. Use this waiting period to prepare your home for your new arrival by reading training materials and puppy-proofing your space. You’ll also receive access to our Puppy Guide, which is loaded with helpful information!

Watch Your Puppy Grow!

We understand the excitement of awaiting your new puppy, and while we appreciate your enthusiasm, we need to minimize visits to our kennel due to potential health risks, such as Parvovirus. We’ll share photos at one, five, and eight weeks of age, and we’ll schedule a Zoom call prior to your pick-up day to discuss the Puppy Guide and answer any questions.

Exciting Puppy Pick-Up Day!

Puppy pick-up day is filled with joy for both you and us as breeders! Generally scheduled on Saturdays, puppies must be at least eight weeks old. We’ll arrange pick-up times based on the order of deposits, allowing you about 30 minutes to select your puppy. We’ll assist you in making your choice based on color, coat type, and personality. If you’re at the end of the list and don’t find a suitable option, you can always wait for a future litter.

Finalizing Your Adoption

After choosing your puppy, we’ll complete all necessary paperwork, including health records, health guarantees, and microchip information. We’ll take the time to address any questions you may have before you leave with your new furry family member!

Shipping Information

Don’t let distance deter you! We ship puppies worldwide and will honor your selection position, allowing you to choose your puppy based on the order of deposits. We’ll assist you in making your selection via phone and individual puppy photos at 7-8 weeks of age. Once a puppy is chosen, we’ll arrange a shipping date and finalize all costs, including shipping. You’ll simply need to be at the airport to welcome your new puppy upon arrival.

Thank you for considering our German Shepherds! We’re excited to help you find your perfect companion.
