Find a Dog

Are you someone who wants to own a dog, but are unsure what breed will work best for you, your family, your lifestyle and personality?

Finding the perfect puppy or adult dog should be an exciting experience for all involved, but frequently it turns into a time-consuming, overwhelming, and confusing journey. With so many websites offering contradictory breed and adoption advice, how do you know who and what to believe. And frankly, maybe you’re just too busy to do all the necessary research to make an informed decision.

That’s why I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I’ve been a dog owner for over 30 years, owning multiple breeds, and raising dogs from puppies to seniors. From my first puppy at age six, I’ve been a life-long, passionate dog-lover.

I do the “heavy lifting”, the research, based on a detailed questionnaire, to find and give you the best options for your consideration and decision. I’ll liaise with reputable breeders and rescues, so that when you do adopt, you can be sure it’s the right puppy or adult dog that complements your specific needs, personality and lifestyle.
