Adoption Process

Applying for a Puppy

Submit a Puppy or Waitlist application and let us know which Puppy or Litter interests you. We will review your application and reach out to you within 48 hours, first by email and, if needed, by phone. This allows us to ask any additional questions to ensure the best possible match between you and a Dreamdoods puppy, or to confirm that your application has been approved.

We require a $500 non-refundable deposit to hold a puppy or secure your spot on a Waitlist. The deposit is applied to the total pet purchase price. See pricing information below.

The balance payment is due when your chosen puppy reaches 6 weeks of age. Dreamdoods reserves the right to release your placement on the Waitlist if payment is not received by the due date. For any puppy adopted after 6 weeks of age, the full purchase price is required at the time of adoption to confirm placement.

Puppy Selection Process: Compatibility Focused

Puppy selections will begin for the people on our reservation waitlist when the litter is about 4 weeks of age. By then, their eyes will be open, and we'll have a better understanding of their individual personalities. At that time, we'll schedule a video call to go over the available puppies, answer any questions you may have, offer guidance if needed, and help you make your selection. Puppies will be chosen in the order that reservations were secured via deposit. Please note that any recommendations made to families is based on our evaluation of the puppies' temperament and personality taking into consideration the family's wants, needs, lifestyle, from application details, email correspondence, phone conversation. As temperament testing is very subjective and puppies are informally observed and evaluated based on our years of knowledge and lived experience with our puppies and dogs.

Puppy–Parent Compatibility

At DreamDoods, we place the highest importance on ensuring strong puppy–parent compatibility. A well-matched placement leads to a fulfilling relationship, shared enjoyment of daily activities, greater happiness, reduced stress, and long-term stability in the home. Families who enjoy a positive bond with their dogs are also far less likely to consider rehoming. The good news is that the Dreamdoods program is designed to nurture well-tempered, deeply socialized family companions, which means that even with different personalities, the outcome is consistently a positive and balanced temperament.

Visitation Policy

We do not operate a traditional kennel-style facility therefore we do not have regular business hours for people to stop by. Our puppies are raised in our private family home(s). To protect the health of our dogs/puppies, and for the safety / privacy of our families, we do not allow visits from the public outside OPEN HOUSE weekend. Open House is primarily for families who have already reserved puppies from the litter. They are welcome to schedule an appointment to meet their future pet. If puppies are still available from the litter, in-person appointments will be made available to other interested families. Other than this, we conduct weekly virtual puppy visits with our families until Go Home Day. There may be exceptions to the visitation policy in special circumstances.

Virtual visits have proven to be one of the favorite parts of the adoption experience for our adoptive families, especially those who are not local, as they get the opportunity to watch their babies grow and change! We will provide a pick up address to people who have committed to adopting one of our puppies. We appreciate your understanding!
