When you adopt your Amazing Mutt, the remainder of their Distemper Vaccine series is included. Be sure to check your adoption packet in the "Canine Treatment Form" section to see if and when you need to make a follow up vaccine appointment at our shop! The series has to be completed within a set amount of time, or it will have to be restarted, so make sure you stay on top of due dates! Contact information can be found within the packet!

You are welcome to use your own vet to Spay (females) or Neuter (males), however the adoption fee includes the surgical portion of your pets procedure. The 1st and 2nd page of your contract has your "Spay/ Neuter" by date. If you choose one of our vets, the surgical portion of your dogs procedure will be covered- you are required to pay for any bloodwork or medications. If you book after the date or choose your own vet, you are forfeiting the surgical fee included with the adoption, and must pay full price at your chosen practice. You can find information of our vets on the About Page.

Robyn Martin is our most trusted dog trainer, providing crucial help to pet parents for both our adopted puppies and adult dogs. Puppy training classes focus on early socialization, confidence-building, and foundational skills during a critical learning window. Starting early helps prevent common behavior challenges, supports healthy development, and sets clear expectations that last a lifetime. Adult dog training helps build confidence, structure, and clear communication—no matter their background. Professional guidance can address gaps in prior training, ease transitions into a new home, and help dogs understand expectations in their new environment.
