Every now and then we may have an older puppy, one who did not find a forever home at 8 weeks, or an older dog, available for the best of families. They will be listed below.
Faye’s Goddess Litter - Yellow female
We have a 12 week old yellow female available. Through no fault of her own she has not yet found her forever home. She is vaccinated, toilet and crate trained and an beautiful girl with a nice, calm and even temperament. If you want to know more please contact us.
The Process
All our dogs only go to the best of homes. In order to be considered for one of our older dogs you must complete the Application Questionnaire, which I will send to you upon enquiry. After you have completed the questionnaire we will contact you in order to have a chat over the phone. If you are looking at an older dog you must be willing to come out and meet them in person. In these cases we need to ensure that the home is a good fit, for them and for you, thus a meeting is essential. If we are satisfied that the match is one which is suitable for all parties involved, then we will organise a pick up date, again, you must pick up in person, I will not transport my older dogs as that would be too stressful for them.
All older dogs will be desexed before going to their new forever home. They will come with their Pedigree certificate (ANKC) and registration which will be changed into the new owners name, They are fully vaccinated with all vaccinations up to date, flea and tick treated, heart-worm treated, and wormed. In addition most of the older dogs will have been DNA tested and hip and elbow scored.
Why are they looking for a home?
Older dogs may be available due to the following reasons:
Did not find a forever home at 8 weeks of age. This can happen, as such the puppy may still be a puppy, just a bit older.
The puppy was kept with the intent to enter our program but it was decided they did not suit the criteria we, as breeders, are looking for. This does not mean there is anything wrong, it simply means they are more suited to a pet home.
I only breed my girls a very limited number of times, as such they are often still quite young when seeking their forever homes. Because I do not have the capacity to keep them all, as much as I would love to, I look for excellent homes for them to live, so they may experience many years of unconditional love and safety.
What are the benefits of an older dog?
They are trained, this includes basic commands, house trained, walk on lead, etc.
They are well socialised with humans and with other animals.
They are no longer in their puppy phase, as such they are calmer and less destructive.
They are fully vaccinated, wormed, flea and tick treated, etc. all you have to do is maintain the current schedule.
