Adopting Your Dream Puppy from Smeraglia: A Step-by-Step Guide

Adopting a puppy is a joyful and exciting journey, and at Smeraglia Farm, we’re here to ensure it’s as seamless and fulfilling as possible. Here’s a detailed look at our puppy adoption process, designed with love and care for our dogs and their future families.

Step 1: Getting to Know Smeraglia

Your first step towards adopting a precious puppy begins on our website. It’s crucial for us to ensure that you’re confident in choosing Smeraglia as your breeder. We invite you to dive deep into our world:
– Understand Our Mission:Discover our breeding goals, ethics, and the heartfelt mission that guides us: To love God, love people, and love dogs, in that precise order.
– Review Our Agreements:Familiarize yourself with our agreements and contracts to ensure our values and practices align with your expectations.
– Research is Key:We believe in making informed decisions. Once you’ve explored your options, we’re confident you’ll feel a strong connection with our approach and the quality of our breeding program.

Step 2: Creating Your Account

– Website Registration:Visit our website’s homepage and fill out a simple form to create your account. This step grants you access to our puppy adoption application and starts your journey towards finding your dream puppy.

Step 3: The Puppy Adoption Application

– Getting to Know You:Through the puppy adoption application, we aim to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and the kind of loving home you can offer to one of our puppies.
– Deposit Submission:Submitting your deposit secures your place in the adoption process. It’s worth noting that the deposit is applied towards the final price of your puppy and doesn’t expire, offering flexibility in your adoption timeline.

Step 4: Matching You With Your Puppy

– Waitlist and Availability:If we don’t have a puppy that matches your specifications at the time of application, you’ll be placed on our waitlist. Our waitlist is offered to first before any puppy is made available online. This ensures that our committed future puppy parents get priority access. Often, if you don’t see what you’re looking for online, it’s because these puppies have already been offered to our waitlist members first. Conversely, if there’s a perfect match available immediately, we’ll proceed to the next steps.
– Payment and Preparations:The balance for your puppy is due when they are four weeks old. If you opt for Doodle Prep School, payments and discussions about your training goals and preparations for your puppy’s homecoming will also take place.

Step 5: Your Support System

– Adoption Specialist Consultation:After submitting your application, an adoption specialist will contact you to discuss your preferences in detail and assist in matching you with the ideal breed, size, and generation, or placing you on the waitlist as needed.
– Continuous Updates: As litters are born, we prioritize waitlisted families, extending offers for puppies that meet their criteria. This process continues until we find the perfect match for you.

Step 6: Bringing Home Your Dream Puppy

– Ongoing Communication:We believe in transparency and support throughout the adoption process. You’ll receive updates, including photos and temperament assessments of the puppies, ensuring you’re well-informed at every step.

Step 7: Final Steps

– Homecoming:With every detail taken care of, the final step is the most exciting—bringing your dream puppy home. Our team is here to support you, answer any questions, and celebrate this new chapter with you.

At Smeraglia Farm, your journey to adopting the perfect puppy is our top priority. We’re committed to ethical breeding, ensuring each puppy is healthy, happy, and ready to join their forever home.
