Burton, Ohio

*Our retired adults ARE NOT available for breeding. When they are retired from our program we want them in forever PET HOMES,

new homes MUST be within reasonable driving distance*

All of our adults are spayed/neutered, dentals completed, UTD on all vaccines, have a microchip (microchips remain in my name! No exceptions!) Full blood panel, & a negative heartworm test before leaving our HOME. All of our adults will need to be worked with on house training as we generally pee pad train our crew while they are inside. They ALL go potty while they're on their outside time. However, we have not heard anyone complain on training our adults. With consistency and TIME they will learn. Our adults are NOT leash trained, they go out freely in our fenced yard. So if you do not have a fence you will have to work with leash training. Fenced in yards are preferred, I may require it with some dogs. Our dogs have never been in a crate, they sleep together or with us. Also, remember it takes a good 2-3 months for adults to fully adjust to their new homes, so be patient! Our adults are retired for various reasons, at no fault to them. 

Here's what you should prepare for when adopting one of our adults... Not ALL will do this, but they could!!

They will shut down.

They will not want to go outside to go potty

They will not want to eat

They will not want to play

They will want to lie in their crate all day

They might show defensive behaviors

It doesn't mean they are sick, bad dogs, etc. It means they have been moved to a new home and are stressed out. This is not your fault or their fault, it just is. IT IS TEMPORARY!

This is why we encourage a period of time in which you simply allow them to adjust at their own pace. People think they have the patience and determination to adopt an adult. Many do not and by not realizing this they are doing themselves and the dog a disservice.

This is also why we provide you video so you can see our dogs in their environment and comfort zone. So you can see what they are like when they are not stressed out, and how they will act when you have given them the proper amount of time, love and patience.

Please do not adopt one of our adults if you are unable to give them this time to adjust to you, your family and their new environment.

We welcome our dogs back at ANY time their lives without judgement. Our dogs do not have to leave here. We have many that are 8+ years old that have simply never found the right home, and that's okay. They will ALL be our pets forever, if that is what's best.
