Puppy Adoption Questionnaire
We want our puppy to be a much loved member of your family. Families are not all alike and puppies too are different; what would be a joy for one family would be a nightmare for another. Your answers to the questions below will help us understand your situation. And please feel free to ask us any questions you'd like. We're happy to provide references upon request.
