How do puppies become
available?
Since everyone has different preferences and situations going on
in their lives, the waiting list for certain timeframes, colors,
sizes, and genders becomes satisfied. Then new folks can consider
those puppies as matches if they are ready and seek adoption approval,
otherwise, they may choose to join our waiting list, and at their
individual turn(s) during a timeframe that works for them, we offer
our pre-approved waiting list families the opportunity to claim or
pass on matching puppies until they decide to adopt just the one that
steals their heart!
How do you find forever homes?
We are committed to our
puppies' care first and foremost, devoting our lives to properly
raising our babies for pet-homes. Therefore it is important to us to match them up with
the right families to
continue learning from and forever homes to thrive in. Our website has
proven crucial to finding sincere families who have taken their time
to read everything and get to know our family, and by the same token,
we like to learn all we can about the homes that come to us!
Your Emails to Miss C & Christi help us approve good forever homes for our babies!
Miss Christina & daughter Christi take time out of our
responsibilities to individually review emails from potenitial homes
together, so that we can first learn about adoptees, and if
comfortable with developing a relationship, approve patient and
sincere households who appreciate all that we're doing here and
likewise provide their details for us to see. We want to know that the
families who comes to us seeking adoption are indeed commited to the
decision, and that they have taken their time to review all the
helpful information we have already provided here online from our
years of experience, so that everyone involved has a successful
experience with the process of adding a new addition to the family.
Send us emails so that we can see your details & sincere interest in
moving forward with adopting a baby from our family for your family!
Since our website is viewable by the general public, emails work best for us- this not only protects our family from unknown callers, can you imagine getting phone calls day and night from thousands of viewers across the world... it allows us to take a moment of peace between responsibilties here at home to sit down and review/compose e-mails when the time is right. This is the only way we can truly devote our attention to our babies first and foremost, without interruption. Also having all the details accessible together in an email for reference really helps as we consider what's best for everyone. Once we've gotten a chance to see and discuss good potential homes with each other, we can feel comfortable with letting expectant pet-homes move forward in adopting of one of our babies, and take time when available to compose a letter back approving their home to join our extended sunshine family!
When we have spare time and are able to sit down at the computer for a coffee break, we do of course like to first update our website if possible, so that everyone can get an update at the same time, then move on to individual conversations. We often work offline to organize memory stick pictures into folders, thumbnail new pictures and make updates, then get online to publish web updates for all our puppy fans across the nation to watch and follow along in the process! We devote our days to hand-raising each of our puppies & caring for everyone, share all the cuteness via our website, and then work together to see they are matched up with the right forever homes!
As the weather chills there are less and less breeders able to care for beagle puppies in the colder months..
we have pups available ! our babies grow up inside our home -vs- out in cages as others do...for hunting bred beagles...

His new owners had adopted their previous Beagle boy from Miss Christina in 1996 when we lived in Stanley NC. their daughter told us it was hard to get over missing Tripper the 15yr old Tri boy they got from us was a total spoiled family member everyone adored. She said her mom was ready to find love again , dad was getting there... then when we sent our directions and contact info. she realized it was us and her dad was happy to know he would be getting another Sunshine Beagle Puppy to enjoy again !! she said they are big sports fans and hoped Brady would be too !!
he is currently ready to find a good home life with someone looking for a mild mannered boy who loves to be held and cuddled with .
His mom Maple is a standard sized beagle.
she came back to have a litter for us . his mom's owner Nicole and her mother Yolanda our good friends came to meet the puppies and Yolanda loved this good boy the best of the litter !
mellow and loving this boy would do well in a family setting with a nice fireplace to lay by..:) his calm personality is subordinate not dominant being the smaller pup in his litter he wasnt the alpha .

We like to review emails together whenever time is available and pre-approve sincere interests who have done their research, appreciate the time we spend caring for the babies, as well as our efforts to provide all the helpful information found in our website, and are committed to successfully adding one of our babies to their home as a lifelong companion beagle. Emailing helps us keep up with the details, and allows us the ability to focus our attention on our babies at all times, getting on emails when it is a good time, and if interrupted being able to easily get up to take care of things and return to emails later when appropriate. When we are able to find a stopping point in between caring for all of our beagle babies we sit down to consider the details and compose an email back to our many excited families. We are a small family, not a pet store, and the care of our babies is our first and foremost priority, not sales, so please be patient and understanding of our values- those sincere homes who understand this and wouldn't want it any other way are the families that we want to join our sunshine acres family !

Athena had similar puppies and her previous litters see them on her page to see how cute her kids turn out - like "Dude " one of her rare colored cuties who went to Florida where lots of folks like Orange Beagles and the lighter colored less heat absorbing khaki and Lemons or Buff's who can stay outdoors in the hot sunshine without the black to attract the rays on their fur patern.
We love it when our adoptive parents and their beagles stay in touch over the years as they grow up !! |

Why is Puppy Guidance so important?
As your puppy enters their new home, they will begin forming
their lifelong habits in their new householod by seeking out boundaries
and learning from pack leaders- aka humans. This
first week home is the best
time to establish life lessons & human pack order so that they can
understand you will always be their
strong, wise pack leader, who will always
make the best decisions in the long run and do what is best for the pack.
Your attentive beagle puppy will observe your interactions, and directly
learn from each of your responses- learning how you view each behavior and
whether its acceptable within your pack. From Day 1: Your Indoor Beagle is learning! Instructing, Training and Nurturing the right state of mind from the very start is the most logical & easiest time to make lifelong impressions, so that can begin adapting and developing their responsible Lifestyle with your human pack for the wonderful years to come! By establishing yourself as a strong, dependable pack leader, they will respect your wisdom over them, and therefore follow your guidance in developing an adaptation to your unique Household & pack, to fit in and thrive in for the years to come. The first step towards being a responsible pet parent & leader is to Understand your puppy's learning process, and What To Do (and what NOT to do) in order to successfully develop healthy habits and raise your lifelong companion pet. You can be prepared to be a good consistent leader by reading our advice from our years of experience, available to committed sunshine acres families on our exclusive Guidance pages.

Once you've taken your time to learn about our family and agree with our mission in developing companion beagle lines for pet homes only, you can take the next step in the process by telling us about your potential home for one of our babies, so that we too can learn about you, and move forward in forming a lasting relationship with your forever home. Ask us about pre-approval for adoption & hold your spot in the claiming process! We like to know how one of our babies would fit in there with you because seeing a successful addition is our goal. We have taken the initiative in sharing years worth of photos and information about our family and our passion for raising companions via our ever growing website, and by the same token we want to learn about the potential homes that come to us. Whether you're ready now, or plan to be in the future, getting yourself pre-approved on the waiting list helps the process go smoothly, so that we can better focus on your details and desires, and help make that wonderful match happen for the happy years to come!

Contacting Our Family about Adoption: We choose to devote our time to our beagles, which is why we have gathered detailed information from our years of experience here for our interested families to take their time learning about our family, our mission in handraising companion beagles for approved homes, and all the helpful details about our beagles, colors, sizes, happy families stories, and more, to help families fully understand the time and devotion that has been put into their new family member from day1. We
likewise want to learn about the families who come to us in hopes of
adding one of our babies to their lives. Emailing is our prefferred
method of communication, as this not only allow us the ability to
better focus on our babies and responsibilities around sunshine acres,
but also allows us the ability to keep track of families' details and
preferences in order to further help make the right matches happen!
Phone Calls from interested customers across the nation would
interrupt our work here to much for us to trully devote ourselves to
our beagles. When time is available, we can choose to sit down and
review potential families details together, discussing possibilites,
and replying when time allows- if something comes up we can easily get
up and take care of whatever is needed here, and return to writing
back when time is appropriate. Being in the middle of a phone call
would hinder our awareness & ability to respond to what is going on
around Sunshine Acres, so as a family we have chosen not to provide
our phone number to the public so as to not only have a private family
life, but to be able to devote ourselves to the care of the newborns
and other responsibilities that we have here at home. We put the care of our babies first and foremost, meanwhile offering the joy we have found in our unique companion pets to sincere, patient, and understanding families across America who trully appreciate our values and where we are coming from as a family- those who would want us to devote our time & attentionto our babies first, are the families we would want to adopt our babies to responsibly raise and enjoy for the years to come, sending updates and pictures as they become a part of our Happy Sunshine Acres Family! |
Different preference lines often become satisfied, as everyone has their own unique preferences! The different puppy preferences you may favor are pictured & detailed here: Colors, Sizes & Prices If there is anyone in line ready for this current timeframe, we will first offer our puppies to those matching pre-approved folks. They can choose to claim a matching puppy, or pass & continue waiting for a future match/ timeframe. We announce any available puppies after we know the Waiting List's status (Which at the moment, those in line are waiting for the October timeframe, so we do have available puppies now!) Our Waiting List Lines can change quickly, as pre-approved families may choose to:

Keep an eye on our
Current
Litters and
Upcoming Litters to see who is here
and an idea of who is expecting in the near future. We continually update with new litters' arrivals and new expectant mommies as time goes on. Ask about being pre-approved by our family for a puppy and join our waiting list to hold your spot in the process for when everything works out perfectly! Its works out beautifully when folks are able to plan ahead and seek our pre-approval to adopt one of our babies. When the time is right we then begin offering their preferred matches as it becomes their turn for different preference lines. By joining ahead of time, they held their spot in line ahead of time and are ahead of others in the claiming process. Sometimes people pass due to timeframes or specific desires, so the line is open to change at any time, making it possible for folks to join and be offered a chance to claim right away, or pass and continue waiting for a future turn to claim their very own matching Sunshine Acres Babies! It's perfectly fine to hold your spot in line for the future! If you'll need to wait a couple weeks, months, or more for a puppy to enter your home, ask about getting pre-approved for the waiting list. Often folks like to join the waiting list ahead of time to hold their position in the claiming process. They can then wait as long as desired, and may look forward to current or younger babies, expected litters, &/ Or future puppies. They can choose to claim a puppy at their turn(s) if everything works out, or pass & continue waiting for any reason. Tell us a about your preferred timeframe and more about yourself & one of our babies' potential home life there in your household, so that we can consider you as a good puppy home, and begin an adoptive relationship, working with you to successfully find and add the right match for your approved companion pet home!

Once on the Waiting List- what's the next step? Once you've made the commitment to join our sunshine acres beagle family, feel free to explore our exclusive pages for extra details and advice as your prepare for your new family member! Everyone in the family can start reviewing our puppy Guidance pages so you will know how to be consistent in leading the way from Day 1 for a successful puppy addition & adaptation. Keeping an eye on this page and what's going on around here is a great idea since things can change quickly, and this is how we as a family choose to update all of our addicted puppy followers together and more thoroughly, vs writing info to each and every viewer individually. The website allows us to go in much more detail for everyone's benefit, in between focusing our time on our babies!
You are always welcome to
chime in if one of our cuties has caught your eye, and you would be
ready for their homecoming timeframe! Even if they didn't
match the original preferences you had expressed an interest in, we
understand that with all the unique and beautiful characteristics our
babies have, folks may always discover their admiration of an
additional option! Let us know if another preference option would be
equally loved by you! Then when we see a possibility for you to claim
that puppy, we know you'd be interested! If you find that any of your preferences expand or change, you can always email me with an update so I can continue to offer good matches for you to consider! We love seeing everything work out for everyone, & we like to consider the best possible matches for each of our babies. This is why we have developed our unique waiting list process for families Pre-Approved. Planning Ahead & Keeping up with your matches helps! Consider whether your preferred timing for a puppy to come home matches the best time frame/week stated for each litter to enter their new homes. Then if a puppy becomes available as a good match for you, you're family would have already thought about whether you'd be ready for them and who you would be interested in adding to your household! Thinking ahead & letting us know helps move along the claiming process. If you're not Ready for a Puppy During these babies' Homecoming Timeframe, Let us know about your future plans for a Beagle Puppy! Feel free to send us timeframe updates, and continue checking out our Upcoming Mommies to get an idea of near future possiblilities. Don't forget our Puppy Guidance Pages as you prepare for your new addition to your life! |

After a litter has been claimed by pre-approved homes, families continue to check in and watch for updates as their puppy grows and becomes ready to begin bonding! In the meanwhile, many folks like to send along a care package for their new family member to enjoy here and take home some familiar toys/blanky/bed on homecoming day! Once homecoming day arrives, we meet with the new forever family and help them add their new addition to the family!

Hello Miss C& Family
Amber is doing wonderful, oh we have fallen in love with her.
She is so adorable and cute. She has fun skyping with Stephen
since he is away training with the Army and will soon be deployed. Oh
boy, does Amber keep me company. We play in the backyard in the
evening and also go walking in the park. She is such a
pleasure, I am so happy we got her since he is gone. Me and
Amber have some much fun if I could take her shopping
with me I would. I have attached some pictures in of her in her
winter clothes and skyping with Stephen.
Thanks for pairing me with the
perfect puppy.
- Alicia "
and her brother Henry aka "Drake" was adopted by Nicholas and Gillinder another waiting list couple from New York wanting this timeframe ! Hello again, Just wanted to let you know that Henry (aka Drake) is doing incredibly well in his new home (i have attached a couple of snaps). He is just wonderful - he is prettier than we imagined he could be, and so gentle and sweet. And he seems to be very happy - he has been snuggling a lot and slept pretty well last night without crying. We are so very pleased with him! Thanks so much, Gillinder and Nicholas.
"Lulu"
Silver Runtsize Girl was adopted!

Dear Miss Christina, Christi, Cody and
Jake,
Just wanted to write with an update on
our darling, adorable, well-behaved,
one-in-a-million BeBop! She is so
precious and has already improved our
lives and home a hundred-fold since we
brought her home on Saturday. What a
wonderful, sweet, darling puppy - you
all have done such a good job with her.
She is soooooo smart and soooooo
loving. All 6 of us have already
received tongue baths when she's excited
to see us. I am usually the first one
awake in the morning so I go right to
check on her and she greets with me a
wagging tail and lots of licks as if to
say, "I'm so happy to see you! Where
have you been?!?"
The birthday surprise went off without a
hitch!! My computer is acting funny so
I can't send pictures at the moment, but
as soon as I can I will. You all will
love them! I captured the pure joy and
excitement in my husband's face as Mary
snuck around one side of the couch and
handed him BeBop. It was incredible!
We all shed some tears at the momentous
occasion. His first question was,
"Who's this?!?" since he hadn't seen the
more recent pictures of her and didn't
recognize her. We said, "BeBop, of
course! They picked us!" He was so
worried that we had given up on
BeBop and just went out and found any
ol' beagle to bring home!! It was love
and first sight for all the boys and
everyone is giving her A LOT
of attention, hugs and kisses.
I believe that she is already a bit
spoiled as the only time she cried on
the way home is when Mary put her in her
box with papers, she didn't need to
"hurry up" and wanted back into Mary's
arms!!! She made it through her entire
first night without a peep (which was
nothing short of a miracle since I think
we accidentally left the herbal drops at
your home...oh well, thank goodness she
didn't cry!) and went right on her
newspaper every time she needed to. She
has a very comfy set-up in our laundry
room right off the kitchen with a gate
up so she can always see us, hear us and
smell the yummy scents in the kitchen.
We have quickly discovered how much she
loves to eat!! We are being very
careful to only give her the 1/4 cup in
the a.m. and 1/4 cup in the p.m.,
but right from her first feeding she
scarfed it down like she hadn't eaten in
a month. She has a voracious appetite
as we've heard beagles do, but we were
so happy that she ate so well right from
the beginning since it seemed like an
indicator that she felt okay and was
comfortable enough with us to take care
of her belly's needs! :)
Anyway, I could go on and on (as you can
imagine) about our wonderful little,
Be-Bop-a-Lula...we even made up new
lyrics to the oldies song:
Be-Bop-a-Lula she's our baby
Be-Bop-a-Lula we don't mean maybe
Be-Bop-a-Lula she-he-he's our puppy
love, our puppy love
She is the puppy with the big white
chest
She's the puppy that we love best
She's our cutie with the wide, white
blaze
Oh yes, she brightens all our days
Singing...Be-Bop-a-Lula
Thank you, thank you, thank you..a
million thank yous for allowing us to
adopt the BEST puppy in the whole
world. We will be forever grateful.
Pictures will be coming as soon as I can
successfully send them your way.
Have a wonderful week filled with lots
of doggie licks,
Susan, Charles, Charley, Mary, Mikey and
Maggie Gowland
P.S. After Maggie cheered up when we
pulled away from Sunshine Acres, she
fessed up that she was weepy because she
didn't want to separate Betsy and BeBop.
:( I really didn't want to either, but
we hope that Betsy is on her way to
finding her forever home.
"Betsy" was adopted!
they knew they loved Betsey online and it was true in person too so she got chosen ! We were glad it all worked out so well for their timeframe as it gave his son a chance to get to know Betsey ( his new little sis) before going off to WCU to start Fall Semester Classes where Miss Christina went to College back in the late 70's early 80's .
(Miss C. holds little Midge the night before she is chosen to go home with her new family )
Midge gets to join her mom visiting in Hospitals someday as a Therapy Dog... we thought she would be just perfect for that ... so tiny and easy to hold , and a gorgeous soft luxurious less shedding khaki coat not to mention her loving gentle spirit would make anyone melt and feel good all over !!
They were without a dog im their home for the first time in 20 years and missed the little pitter patter of puppy paws they told us... after joining the waiting list for a sunshine beagle baby they took one more vacation they had planned and came up to chose their new best friend !
Silver Mini Female "Ashley" was adopted by her new family who asked for her in their subject line they came to meet her and loved her in person too !
Her military family said they would be returning to California in a year and wanted a tiny less shedding older puppy to join them . Mom admitted to a little OCD nature on cleanliness and loved the idea the majority of rare colored beagles tend to have shorter less shed hair thats not as noticable as a Tri color beagles longer coarser fur typically can be.
and finally were down in our area visiting friends so they emailed to see if they could come on out on a weekend to meet some of the available puppies and see who stole their hearts to adopt !
Miss C.
We made it home safely and Milo was a dream. He used his wee wee pads to go "hurry up" all the way to Cincinnati He slept great last night and only woke up when he wanted water. We had a bad storm come thru and he was a trooper He has spent the morning exploring his yard and the house. He is so wonderful and we can't wait to show him off around the neighborhood and introduce him to his new puppy pals Thanks again for everything!! The Brauns
"Mickey" aka "Shiloh" Tricolor Male
went home with his birthday boy!
granddad had emailed letting us know that he and grandmom wanted to surprise their grandson they are raising with a new little best friend to grow up with ! They told us they wanted to go ahead and send a deposit to join the waiting list for a tri colored boy pup and came to let him find a pal all his own !!
her new mom flew into charlotte to take her home onboard the plane to her family in Las Vegas ! lizzys corduroy flew to the Garza family of San Benito Texas now ! Carver has flown home to the Webers of California ! Dana is a teacher and had joined the waiting list for summer timeframe so she could have a new baby in the home over her break from school .
"Stardust" Silver Girl has been adopted!
They have updated us and say she is just the perfect addition to their home and little family, mom says they cant go anywhere she doesnt draw a crowd she's so sweet and adorable .
with a couple younsters already they decided a pup like Casanova's older stage would suit them so he can be less dependant on mom's time and already able to keep up with their sons activity level outdoors and in their yard playing and fetching toys etc. to entertain him as his new pal !
they wanted brothers to keep each other company , lots of folks see the wisdom in getting a pair of sibblings to raise together since you know they can play with one another when your too busy , and still love you as their human care giver family in a very different bonding way ! It doesnt take away from the connection you have it just keeps you from feeling guilty if you cant spend time with your dog someone once told me .. makes sense to us , our many doggies still are crazy about our attention and love even though they play and romp with others whenever we are tied up .
Hello Miss Christina,
Hope all is well at Sunshine Acres!
We thought we'd send you a quick update and some
photos of Charlotte, who is now a very playful 5 month
old!
She is fantastic! She's been doing well learning her
good manners, and we've been going for walks on leash.
She is the friendliest pup, and has such a love for
life. She turns heads wherever we go.
And, she might be the fastest beagle ever born. She
can tuck her rear under her, and just go!
She runs circles around the children, and they love it. Also, she is so incredibly snuggleful. When you hold her, she always hugs you around the neck with her chin and neck. They are the sweetest hugs.
We still can't believe how small she is. We always
thought our beagle Andy was a small one, but she is
less that 1/2 his height! So petite and perfect.
And her color!! I never knew that I would be so in
love with khaki's! She's so soft and so
beautiful...well I guess you know all about that! :)
Anyway, thank you again for giving us the perfect
addition to our family.
Sincerely,
The Lagasse's: Lance, Valerie, Ryan, and Troy
3/19/11 Susan came back to get her and her husband Garrett's second Sunshine Acres Beagle baby by mommy Athena!! They already have "Oscar" from Athena's first litter, raised him and then had their new baby boy Carson, who they told us Oscar did so well with! Oscar even brings toys up to Carson, and Carson grabs onto the toy and Oscar knows to let go and let the baby have the toy :)
They love their new Athena baby Starburst, and said that whenever we are ready to retire mom Athena, she has a home with them!!
Clover's babies went home last Saturday!
We are keeping Clover's chocolate peppermint "Patty"!
Eclipse's boy Eddie B. and Trevor go home together with the Love family who had emailed us telling us how much they were in love with Eddie B. and asking us to hold onto him till they could arrive and choose a second pup to come home with them !! (Their brother "Trey" is still available!)
Up from South Florida Ada claims her little chocolate girlie by Sienna.. she had joined our waiting list as a preapproved adoptive family for one of our mini puppies. They drove up from Miami and made their decision on one of our chocolate darlins to join their tri beagle as a new friend ! (Sienna has 2 Chocolate boys still available!!)
Bonnie's last orange and white girl gets the vote by the whole family and heads home .. their orange and white cat will have a new matching friend,, LOL, they told us !! Often folks ask how will a beagle get along with our kitty? We have lots of families adopt our beagle puppies who already have a cat .. by letting them meet and gradually spend more time each day together they become friends and several folks have emailed us pictures of their sunshine puppy asleep cuddled up with their cat ... BFF 's !
They have already written to let us know he is settling in nicely!
"Hello everyone,
We received an update from Maisy's "Johnny" who went home this Christmas!
" Here are a few pictures of Johnny Christmas Day! He is doing wonderful! It was everything we hoped for on Christmas morning with him opening the box Johnny was in. Will was so excited and loves him so much already! Thanks so much!"

Preparing for the New Puppy! Hint: If you are saving up newspapers for when you bring your new puppy home, toss out all the slick ones they are not absorbent and pups slip and slide in the tub vs. the white pages which work real well during the still goin on paper phase, right after bringing the puppy home.. Over the next few weeks they can begin going outdoors too, then it wont be long till they are used to your home & being crated at night (we advise you how to go about this when you pick up your puppy & you can also learn about this process by following our Tips pages!) , but at first it is great to have a few stacks of papers on hand ! ( we also love it when folks think to bring some to us.. we are always appreciative of those ! You can only imagine how much paper we go through each day as our little ones learn to go over on the paper.) One gal brought a box with some wee wee pads when she came to board her Sunshine beagle with us .. boy did we appreciate those to hand to each person who was driving home far away with a little pup in the car..(makes it easier to have those on the floorboard than having to pit stop the minute the puppy wines to get out to go..) LOL ! we ran out, but sure would love more if anyone has some left their pet no longer uses !
When picking up your puppy by car its
suggested to bring a cardboard box with papers in it or wee wee pads for
the floorboards work well when and if needed . Also Clorox wipes are handy if needed too-
we have some if need one !! Some folks
start out with their new puppy on their lap , or in a crate with plenty
of toys and chew toys or treats to play with .
We also advise folks to go directly to the spot in their yard where they want the puppy to "Go Hurry UP" right when you get home, put your puppy from the car on the grass or ground there.. let him or her sniff around and walk around so they dont just stand on your feet wanting to be picked up lol... soon enough your puppy will decide to go since they was cooped up in the car and likely hasn't gone yet.. and you make a big deal out of saying good hurry up in a praise voice !! and give them kisses ! before long learning puppy will be thinking "they must like it when i go here... I want to go back to the same spot and remark it again ... and get all that praise again!" .. we give plenty of tips on this and all the phases involved in taking home a new puppy from us so it is a wonderful and easy transition for all members of the family as you bring in one of our babies to your home. Be sure to read through our guidance pages, follow our advice/guidelines/tips, and follow-up on any of the pointers for having one of our intelligent little sunshine acres beagles join your family as a companion for the next 15 years! |
Someone once told me its like reading a soap opera
every day...
I just cant wait to tune in !!
She said I
love seeing who is available and when they get adopted just how
perfectly they match the new family who convinced you all they would
treat them the best... she said I know you have so many people wanting
them, you have to try to determine who will spoil them, but give them
discipline at the same time so they turn out to be the
perfect indoor housepet ! - so true !!
If you are the happy family of one of these cuties, remember that we love to receive updates and/or pictures whenever you can pass those along! We enjoy seeing how our puppies are fitting in & growing up in their forever homes!
