Please answer all the questions in this application as completely as possible to aid me in matching you with a puppy that will best fit your family’s lifestyle. Thank you for your interest and for considering StarCrest, and please don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions or concerns.
Puppies begin going to their new homes after eight weeks of age. Health and wellness, both mental and physical are of the utmost importance. All puppies are structurally evaluated and temperaments observed. Puppies go to their new homes well socialized, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and having had a wellness exam performed by my veterinarian. Puppy placements are based on these factors, therefore, I reserve the right to match each puppy with their new home (preferences are considered, but not guaranteed) to assist in making sure it is a good fit for both you and your puppy.*
