You will not be permitted to bring your dog to meet a puppy under the age of 4 months.

Southern California Adoptions ONLY & applicants must be 25 yrs or older

No personal checks or credit cards accepted

We are not a shelter, all pups are in foster homes. 
If your application is approved,
we will arrange a private appointment for you to meet a specific pup. 
Submitting an application does not guarantee approval.

Please read all questions carefully, and be as specific & detailed as possible, answering ALL questions completely. 
Informative, detailed applications take priority over short, quickly answered applications.
Incomplete applications will automatically be discarded

Adopting a puppy is a 10-15 year commitment.  Please do not apply if you are not ready to
make that commitment. 
Pets are not a novelty - adoptions should be forever.
