There’s something truly special about Puppy Pick Day—that magical moment when families finally meet the fluffy bundles they’ve been dreaming about for weeks. Tails wag, hearts melt, and the air is full of laughter (and maybe a few happy tears). At around 5-6 weeks old, our puppies are ready to meet their future families for […]
Ready to Welcome a New Family Member?
