Process
How it works:
01
Interview
At Pawfection, our interview process involves a comprehensive assessment to ensure our puppies go to loving homes. We start with an initial questionnaire followed by a face-to-face meeting to discuss your lifestyle, experience with pets, and specific needs regarding a puppy. Together, we want to ensure a great match for both the puppy and your family. We consider several key factors, including your living situation, daily routine, and understanding of puppy care. We believe that a responsible and informed pet owner is crucial for the well-being of our puppies. The entire interview process typically takes about one to two hours, allowing us to thoroughly discuss your interests and answer any questions you may have.
02
Deposit
Ready to welcome a new puppy into your life? To begin the adoption process with Pawfection, simply pay a deposit to secure your position in the selection order. This deposit shows your serious intent to adopt and ensures you're next in line when it's time to choose your future furry companion. After your deposit is confirmed, we’ll provide you with the next steps, and we’ll be here to support you along the way!
03
Selection
The journey of selecting a puppy at Pawfection starts with the first family that commits by making a deposit. We personally guide them through the selection of our lovable puppies, emphasizing their unique traits to find the perfect fit. Then, we continue down the list, reaching out to each family as their turn comes. Our goal is to make your puppy selection a delightful experience, one that leads you to your very own furry companion. We're here to support you through this wonderful process!
04
Weening /Training
At Pawfection, we take the weening process very seriously to ensure our puppies are well-prepared for their new homes. During this crucial stage, we gradually introduce the pups to solid food, helping them transition smoothly while still receiving the essential nutrients they need. We also start basic house training to instill good habits early on, making the adjustment to their forever homes easier for both the puppies and their new families.
05
Adoption day
Join us for our exciting Adoption Day at Pawfection! On this special day, we invite all prospective pet parents to meet your adorable puppies. We recommend bringing a valid ID and any necessary supplies such as a carrier or leash. Pawfection will provide essential items like a health certificate and a starter pack of food to help you get started with your new furry family member. We can’t wait to see you there!
