The following questions are being asked of you so that the right puppy and the right placement of each puppy is made by bringing the various requirements of both the puppy and his or new owner(s) into perspective, BEFORE a choice is made. We hope you will agree that the animal’s welfare must be our foremost consideration in considering a placement.
Please answer the following questions as completely as you can, and return this form when you’ve finished. Please be advised that we will contact references, landlord and veterinarians listed. If you think we’re being a little nosy with all these questions, you’re right! We are! Because the quality of homes and subsequent quality of care that we decide our puppies go to is of the utmost importance to us.
