Visitation Policy
Please remember we are a home based hobby breeder/enthusiast. We have a family and a job, as do you. We only allow puppy pickups on the weekends (and certain times during the weekday). During the week we have our routine and time set aside for our own family (please respect this). If you cannot coordinate your puppy pickup day on a weekend then please advise us.
We are not a retail store front, petting zoo, farm, commercial facility, or ranch (we are a private home). In short, we are a closed Home Breeder, meaning we are not open to the public (for allergy testing, puppy play dates, learning experiences, photo shoots, or other related reasons) due to security, liability, health, and safety reasons. We are by appointment only for the families who are already on our waiting list scheduling their puppy pickup.
What is a closed breeder you ask? It means visiting isn't allowed due to biosecurity, health, and safety to the pups (and my family). Puppies are extremely sensitive (especially young puppies during the weaning process). Not only does having visitors in and out put the puppies at risk of contracting contagious/infectious diseases/illness, it can also cause unnecessary stress to these young babies. Secondly, I don't allow families into my home to hold/handle these young puppies in person, due to the fact that baby puppies are delicate, and if handle improperly, they could get dropped, injured, or even killed accidentally. My #1 goal has been, and always will be, providing healthy companions, and to do so, I have strict protocols on the environment from which they are raised. If this doesn't sound like something you are okay with, then I encourage you to connect with as many breeders as possible and adopt from the one you feel good about. You are also more than welcome to ask for references from my past clients and they can share how this process has worked for them. Lastly, you are always welcome to contact my personal veterinarian directly as they can attest to the welfare of my animals.
I schedule appointments for puppy pickups when the puppies are ready to go to their new homes. Which is about 7-8 weeks of age. I do not allow visitations without a deposit (a deposit secures your spot on our waiting list). Only families on the wait list will be able to come to my home to collect their puppy. We take the utmost care in caring for your puppy. By having visitors in and out not only compromises the health and well being of your puppy but possibly the health and well being of someone else's. We thank you for understanding and working with us to help bring you the healthiest possible pet you can have.
We encourage you to come by and pick your puppy up when he or she is ready to leave however, we do not allow people to come as though we are a pet shop and come and "browse" and pick the puppy they think is the most suited based on their limited exposure or research. If by chance we have puppies remaining after others have been allocated then we will send you pictures and other pertinent information about puppy's assessment.
Please note that our puppies normally have a waiting list due to popular demand so there is not going to be a likelihood of being able to visit a litter in hopes to get a feel for the breed, or just to play with puppies. While your intentions may be genuine this is a risk to these young babies and a liability to those who have reserved from this litter. Our goal is to keep these babies safe until they go to their new forever home.
In order to keep safety (of my family) and health (of your future puppy) a priority here in our home we no longer are able to allow visitations if you are not on our waiting list scheduling your pickup.
This section below is for those who are on our waiting list and making their visit to our home to meet/take home their new friend/companion;
Please take the time to read our policy, we are very careful about preventing the transmission of diseases to our Boston Terrier puppies
1. Please call or email us first to set up an appointment. We will be glad to set up a time for you to visit us, as quickly as we can (weekend & weekdays pickups available).
2. If you change your mind or can not keep your appointment, please call us to let us know that you will not be here at the scheduled time (24 hour notice is preferred). If you are running late please just let us know and we will be glad to wait for you. Or we can reschedule your visit if you need us to. Please do not just assume that we will figure it out if you do not show up, we do wait here for you by the phone in case you need to contact us for further directions or need us. We will not get upset at all, we appreciate your courtesy and keeping us informed. If you are more than 30 mins late, your appointment will need to be rescheduled and the remaining balance is due as soon as that appointment is missed in order to keep the puppy you selected on hold until you are able to pick him/her up. You have 1 hour prior to your appointment time to call to cancel or reschedule your pickup appointment without forfeiting your deposit/payment. If you do not show up to your appointment at all or fail to contact us immediately after your appointment is missed, then it is assumed you no longer intend to adopt a puppy from me and any monies paid will not be refunded and any claims to the dog will be forfeited. And in such case, the puppy will immediately be posted on my website and other social media platforms as available for sale.
3. When you visit us here please make sure that you do not bring any unwanted germs or viruses with you, this is the most important rule we have and it must be followed each time with every visitor. Please do not visit any other kennels or shelters before you come here to visit us, they may have diseases or parasites there that you are not aware of, and you could accidentally bring them with you to our puppies. If you do visit another kennel or shelter, please return home first, shower and change your clothes, especially your shoes. That is the only way that you can be sure not to expose our babies to outside harm.
4. Please schedule your visit accordingly. Each family will have approximately 30 mins to visit/collect with their new baby, during this time we encourage to bring only a limited number of family members with you. We do this to reduced the exposure risk of viruses, germs, and other contagious infections. Also, please don't not bring any pets with you as they will not be allowed on our premises.
5. Please limit the number of guests to our home, we understand you may have family and small children but we ask you make contact with us first to get prior approval. We do limit the amount of visitors to 3 per family. If there is an exceptional circumstance that requires you to have an excess of 3 please make contact with us to see if we are able to accommodate you. With that being said, we will NOT schedule multiple appointments at once - we provide a very calm, intimate visit which will allow you personal time with your new baby.
6. We will not allow you to meet or play with someone else's puppy. If you don't have a puppy reserved we will not allow you to visit our home or if we currently have no puppies offered for sale. We will only show you your puppy and we will not allow you to view or handle a reserved puppy. While we understand you may have limited interaction with puppies and are new to the wonderful realm of Boston Terriers we will not allow you to use our home as a "petting zoo" or "learning experience". We encourage you to research as much as possible and even consider visiting a local rescue or adoption fair. As much as we love talking about Boston Terriers and educating new owners we simply don't have the time nor want the risk of allowing someone into our home who could expose our animals to outside disease or accidentally injury one of our babies.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my policy. If you happen to have additional questions that were not addressed in this section to email or call us for further clarification.
