# Our Adoption Process

We've made finding your perfect English Mastiff puppy simple and transparent. Follow our step-by-step process to bring home your new family member.

## Submit Your Application

Start by filling out our detailed application form. There's a $25 non-refundable application fee. This helps us ensure each puppy is matched with the perfect family.

## Application Review

We'll carefully review your application within 48-72 hours to ensure a good match. We may contact you with follow-up questions to better understand your family and lifestyle.

## Phone Interview

If your application is approved, we'll schedule a brief phone call to discuss your preferences and answer any questions you have about our puppies and process.

## Choose Your Puppy

Visit us in person or schedule a video chat to meet our available puppies. We'll work together to find the perfect match for your family. You can also view photos and descriptions on our available puppies page.

## Puppy Preparation

While your puppy grows, we provide comprehensive care including health checks, vaccinations, deworming, and individual training with our personal, in-house canine behavioral consultant (40+ years experience). You'll receive regular updates and photos.

## Pick Up or Delivery

When your puppy is ready (usually 8 weeks old), you can pick up in person or choose from our delivery options. We provide all paperwork, health certificates, and a puppy starter pack.
