DOG FAQ - How do I go about adopting a Dalmatian?

If you are interested in one of our litters (or adult dogs), please contact us for a Puppy Questionnaire. We will email, fax, or mail it to you. Once you complete and return the questionnaire, we will want to talk with you. We are very particular about where our puppies go and like to discuss the information provided on your questionnaire. Our puppies and dogs are not sold on a first come, first serve basis. Our puppies go to the families we feel will make the best homes. Once pregnancy is confirmed, we ask for a deposit to make sure you are serious. Believe it or not, we have had people back out the week before their puppy was ready to go home. The deposit is usually $100 and applies to the adoption cost of your puppy. If you decide not to get a pup, the money is refunded once a new family is found for the puppy you decided not to adopt.
