At The Contemporary Canine, adoption is not rushed or transactional. Our process is intentionally designed to support thoughtful placements, protect the well-being of our puppies, and ensure families feel confident every step of the way.
We value transparency, communication, and calm guidance throughout the journey — from first inquiry to life long after your puppy goes home.
We encourage families to begin by exploring our website to learn about our philosophy, breeding standards, and approach to raising companion puppies.
Understanding how our puppies are raised and what we value helps ensure our program is the right fit for your family.
When you feel ready, the next step is completing our Puppy Application.
The application allows us to:
Learn about your lifestyle and expectations
Understand the type of companion you’re seeking
Begin the process of making the best possible match
There are no “right” or “wrong” answers — the application is simply a tool to support thoughtful placement.
Once your application is reviewed, approved families will be contacted with next steps.
Approval may include:
Guidance on current or upcoming availability
Discussion of adoption packages
Information about our waitlist, if applicable
We are happy to answer questions and provide clarity at this stage — our goal is for families to feel informed and supported.
After approval, families may:
Reserve an available puppy, or
Join our waitlist with a reservation deposit
Puppy selection is guided by availability, temperament evaluations, and waitlist order. Our priority is always creating the best match for both puppy and family.
As your puppy grows, we provide:
Photo and video updates
Guidance on preparing your home
Resources to support a smooth transition
Families selecting our Premium Adoption Package receive additional early development support and personalized preparation.
Puppies typically go home between 8–10 weeks of age, depending on developmental readiness and veterinary clearance.
Families may choose:
In-person pickup by appointment, or
Nationwide delivery through a trusted in-cabin flight nanny
Detailed pickup instructions are provided in advance to ensure a calm, safe transition.
Our relationship does not end at pickup.
Families who adopt from The Contemporary Canine receive:
Ongoing guidance and support
Access to resources and care recommendations
A breeder who remains available throughout the dog’s life
We stand behind our puppies and the families who welcome them home.
Every step of our adoption process is designed to feel supportive, respectful, and unhurried.
We believe that thoughtful placement creates the strongest bonds — and lifelong companionship built on trust.
