Older Puppies who are ready to go!
Older Puppies Available
Occasionally, we have wonderful puppies who are not chosen by families on our waiting list. These puppies remain with us a little longer, allowing them to complete all of their vaccinations and begin basic training. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these pups—they are healthy, socialized, and well-loved, with an excellent foundation for a smooth transition into your home.
Sometimes these puppies:
-
Are larger than the average size for the breed and simply need the right home to match.
-
Have a less common color that may not be as highly sought after.
-
Are extra tiny, requiring us to hold them back to monitor growth and ensure they're thriving before placement.
✨ These are exceptional puppies who come with several advantages:
-
Completed vaccinations: Full DA2PP series and Bordetella.
-
Microchipped and ready to register.
-
One month of FREE pet insurance (for peace of mind during the transition if under one year of age).
-
Individual wellness exam documentation from our vet (included in your go-home folder).
-
Started on pee pad and crate training, making housebreaking easier for new families.
These pups are healthy, active, and ready to safely explore the world with you!
Application & Meet-and-Greet Details:
-
A puppy application is required before scheduling a meet and greet.
-
Meet and greets are available Tuesday through Friday only and align with our scheduled puppy pick-up days.
-
We do not hold puppies for meet and greets—puppies are selected based on photos and videos posted on our website and social media.
-
Please consult our Pick-Up Schedule before scheduling to ensure your availability.
-
Weekend appointments are not available due to our family’s work commitments.
-
Puppies are not eligible to go home the same day as a meet and greet—this allows time for the adoption contract, payment processing, and travel arrangements to be completed.
-
Adoption prices listed are final. We do not offer additional discounts.
-
Full AKC registration may be available on select puppies for an additional fee. Please inquire for eligibility and pricing.
These older pups are truly special and are waiting for the perfect match—maybe that’s you!

Name: "Nascar"
Litter theme: Speedway
Gender: Male
Color/Markings: Black & Tan Harlequin Merle spotted on white with two blue eyes, ticking on two front legs. Ticking are tiny freckles on his coat.
Coat: Smooth coat
Personality: Nascar is an incredibly charming and handsome boy who has quietly grown into something really special. He has a confident yet easygoing personality, paired with a friendly, affectionate nature that makes him a joy to be around. He’s the kind of dog who settles in beautifully—equally happy soaking up attention or just relaxing nearby.
Interestingly, Nascar was completely overlooked as a young puppy, which makes it all the more rewarding to see the boy he’s become. We ultimately held him back for our program, but have since decided that keeping another merle male isn’t the right fit for our plans moving forward.
Nascar would make an exceptional companion in a loving home, but he is also available to a breeding program for an additional fee. He truly has the presence,
