First, fill out our Adoption Application or give us a call. We review your answers on the application and contact you by phone or email. After deciding that a Strong Oaks puppy is a good choice for your home, you may put a $300 nonrefundable (but transferable) deposit on a puppy. At seven weeks, once temperament testing has been completed puppy buyers choose their puppy based on order of deposit received. We help you make the choice by informing you of each puppy’s temperament.
