Adopting a Pudgy
Our Pudgy's didn't have a great start and so it's important to us that we match our Pudgy's with the right home to ensure it's a FOREVER home.
Step One:
We do not adopt outside of our community, it’s important to us that we meet each person….you are not just adopting a puppy you are becoming a part of a strong community. We believe that adoption is a reunion of 2 souls that knew each other in another life. Pudgy’s Place is the place where these should see each other again and connect, please sign up for one of the classes, a snuggle sessions or see if we have an event taking place. You will see the puppies in our care on IG but we will not accept an application sent as a result of seeing them on socials
These are the ONLY places to meet our current adoptable pups.
Step Two:
Fill our the Adoption Application and answer the questions, we will review the application and get back to you if we think it's the right fit.
Step Three:
If we think it's the right fit, we will arrange for you to come and see the puppy again. We’ll chat about the history of the puppy in our care, each of them have a story and could have some health concerns due to the neglect/abuse. We need the new parent to understand that these babies have been through a lot. We’ll spend time together to decide if you want to be part of our community and if we feel you are the right fit for the puppy and the community
We ask for the first meeting it's just you and one other person. Please don't bring the entire family and other dogs.
You'll spend some time with the puppy, hang out, have a coffee, play and snuggle to see if your souls connect at our location in Toronto.
Step Four:
After meeting the Pudgy and it's a love match we would ask for for the standard adoption fee of $775 CAD. This fee will include 2 sets of vaccines, deworming, training etc. The puppy WILL NOT be leaving our care until they have had their second set of vaccines, parvovirus is a very real threat to any puppy and we need to ensure they will contract it once they leave us.
Once the adoption fee has been sent we will send you the adoption agreement via email. We will then call our vet Truscott Animal Hospital to arrange when the 2 nd set of vaccines can be done and the final health check.
That day we will also give you a sheet with their diet and routine so you can pick up the things needed.
Step Five:
Puppy Pick up!
We select a day and time for you to come pick up your Pudgy! We will take a Gotcha Day photo for you to take with you, we will keep a copy for us to hand on the adoption wall.
Step Six:
Welcome to the Pudgy Family!!! We are a package deal with our Pudgy's, we are always here for support, questions and community.
Requirements for All Pudgy Pups’ Adoptions:
By adopting a Pudgy Pup, you will be agreeing to:
Feed the puppy raw fed for at least the first 6 month. In some cases we may accept a human grade alternative as the next best option.
Why? Because most of our puppies come to us with malnutrition or illnesses. We have helped them regain their health by feeding Bold by Nature. It’s important to continue giving them the top nutrition with immediate bioavailability. Kibble cannot provide that.
Reside in Ontario. We do not adopt out of province, nor will we ship our Pudgys.
Why? Should circumstances change, we need to be able to get to our Pudgy ASAP.
Pudgys must be returned to us. You cannot give your Pudgy to anyone but us, for whatever reason. If you need to rehome, the Pudgy will be returned to us and then we will reach out to the person you had in mind.
Why? Our Pudgys have a home with us, no matter what. They are a part of our family, even once they’ve been adopted. We want to ensure they have the best life, for their entire lives.
