Meet 'N' Greet's






🐾 Meet & Greet Policy
We’re happy to offer meet and greets—but only on the same days we are hosting scheduled puppy pick-ups. Please refer to our Puppy Pick-Up Schedule to view our current availability for the year.
👥 Who Is Eligible for a Meet & Greet?
We offer meet and greets for:
-
Retired young adults
-
Older available puppies who are fully vaccinated with all rounds of DA2PP and Bordetella
❗Please note: This option is not available for our younger, regularly listed puppies as they have not yet completed their full vaccine series.
📸 Sight-Unseen Adoptions & Availability
Most of our dogs and puppies are adopted directly from our website, “sight unseen.” Because we do not hold dogs or puppies while you wait for a meet and greet:
-
The dog or puppy you’re interested in may become unavailable before your scheduled visit
-
If you’re serious about a specific puppy, we recommend placing a reservation in advance
🐕🦺 Meet & Greet Guidelines
Here’s what you can expect at your meet and greet:
-
Please leave your personal pets at home.
This is a precaution to protect the health and safety of our animals. -
The puppy or dog will not go home with you the same day.
We do not send dogs or puppies home on meet and greet days because:-
Adoption paperwork has not yet been completed
-
Go-home supplies and care packages have not been prepared
-
📅 Scheduling & Travel Notes
-
We are not available on weekends
-
Pick-up and meet & greet days are held every other week (unless closed for a scheduled break)
-
If you're traveling to meet a dog or puppy before committing, please be sure to plan around our scheduled availability
We appreciate your understanding and commitment to helping us keep our program safe, structured, and efficient—for the well-being of both our dogs and your future family member! 🐶💕
