Christmas Adoption Kits

We know that there’s nothing more exciting than a new puppy on Christmas morning. But for the puppy, all the packages and wrapping and extra folks coming and going can be a pretty overwhelming transition. If that’s when puppies are ready for adoption there’s probably no lasting harm in starting with all the hullabaloo and hubbub, but when the chips fall so the calendar dates don’t line up for Christmas morning, we are actually a little relieved for the puppies’ sakes.

The transition away from their litter and mom into a new home is a big one for a puppy, full of new sensory information to take in. The new sounds, sights, and smells, and the lack of their comforting pile of litter mates causes some stress, even in the most placid of scenarios.

Puppies are ready to go to their new homes around 8 weeks of age. Ours will be 6 weeks at Christmas. If you are looking for a puppy as a Christmas surprise, we have adoption gift boxes available to wrap up and put under the tree for Christmas morning. The kit includes an adoption certificate, collar, dog toy, photo, and some treats. You can add to the fun by purchasing the recommended supplies from our list of suggestions to prepare for your puppy. If you have reserved a puppy, you are on our mailing list, but if you are interested in receiving our informational emails about preparing for and training your puppy, let us know.

They are still very little, but the puppies are constantly licking and tasting, learning about their ever-expanding world.
