Miniature Australian Shepherd Adoption Process
Step-by-Step Guide to Bringing Your New Mini Australian Shepherd Puppy Home
STEP 1: Fill Out Our Application
​​​The first step is to fill out an application.
​This helps us get to know you better, understand your family's dynamics, and ensure the puppy you bring home will thrive in its new home.
Whether you are an adventurous family looking for hiking companions or a family looking for a snuggly friend, we are here to ensure that your Mini Australian Shepherd puppy is everything you have dreamed of and more.
Our top priorities are our puppy's happiness and suitability to your family's lifestyle.
Once we receive your application, we will call you within 48 hours to learn more about you and answer any questions you have.
Step:4 Reservation Fee
​Once your application is approved and the contract is signed, a $300 non-refundable but transferable reservation fee is required, which will be applied toward the total purchase price of your puppy.
​
Puppies are reserved in the order of the reservation fee received.
​
When our Mini Aussies are born, we wait a week to make sure they are all doing well before we announce their birth. Then, we contact families based on their puppy choice, which usually takes less than a week.
​
If your preferred color and sex are not available, your reservation fee will be transferred to the next litter.
​
Final payment is due when your puppy is ready to go home at 8 weeks of age.
​
Step 5:Prepare for your Mini Aussie
Preparing for your new puppy is such an exciting time!
​
Along with treats, toys, and a stylish collar, you'll want to think about potty, crate training, and choosing the right dog food.
​
No worries—we're here to support you every step of the way.
We'll email you tips and tricks, sharing what works best for our dogs. You might want to create a folder to save these for future reference. This will help you get ready for your new Mini Aussie and ensure they have everything they need to thrive.
​
You can also call or text us anytime for additional support!
