Preparing for Puppy Arrival

What to expect and how to prepare for when your puppy goes home:

New HHS families always have our support. This is especially true after they take their new puppy home.  We will stay in close contact during the first few months by checking in with all new families.  We promise we will check in less frequently each week.  Please expect us to text, message, and possibly call you. Additionally, we highly encourage questions from families and love receiving updated pictures and videos. 

What should you expect to get with your puppy?

After puppies go to their new home, I will check in frequently to see how he/she and you are adapting to the change.  I am available for questions.  


Puppies Learn & Play

We don't only care and love our puppies...we also work with them to build their confidence and ease the transition with their new and homes.

Puppies have been working on grass pad and (all-natural pine) litter training.  They do not go set foot on the outside ground before going home to new family.


Puppies are learning about sleeping comfortably in a comfy bed and open crate. 

Puppies are meeting new people! They are socializing and playing with children and adults.

Puppies are being exposed to safe, new sights and sounds. This includes vacuums, TVs and LOTS of talking!
