Stories from the Families and Homesteads Who've Welcomed Our Puppies
Our puppies don’t just leave with a name—they leave to begin a life filled with purpose, companionship, and love. From quiet homesteads to active family homes and working farms, here’s what people have shared about their new four-legged family members.
""He's truly a dream come true! Living on the third floor we were a little nervous about the stairs, but with some patience and lots of treats, he learned to handle them like a pro. He’s so
content with his toys, hasn’t chewed a thing,
and we feel incredibly lucky—
he’s such a good boy!" "
