Getting to know you- LIFESTYLE QUESTIONS

Thanks for your interest in a Daintree retiring adult dog!

After reading this page, please fill out the lifestyle form below. The completed form is helpful in evaluating our likelihood of being a match for one another. Since we can't meet most of you in person due to the distance between you and our remote location, these questions help us to get an idea of your lifestyle.

Once your submitted form is received and reviewed, you will be contacted within a few days and invited to send a few photos of your home, yard, and family out doing fun stuff. Photos? Really? Yes, really. This may feel stringent but we really can’t leave things to chance when it comes to choosing those most committed, keen, capable and prepared owners for our dogs. We invite you to share some pictures (or video) with us so that we can see more about your lifestyle and residence. We want to envision how a dog will live in your home. Don’t worry - we don't expect perfection from you; just a general idea of your lifestyle.

Please ensure that you are able to have a Toller in your premises if you live in a building with pet restrictions, or if you rent or house share and do not own your home.

When adopting one of our adult dogs, we hope that you will be on the same page and see things in a similar way for it to be a good match. The way we see it, this is the beginning of a relationship, not just a one-time transaction. This form, and photos, gives us a basic understanding of your lifestyle and a starting point to take the conversation further. We will also spend some time on a phone call together to go over things in more detail and also allow YOU to interview US. The call permits us to get to know one another better. At that point, we can usually all tell if this is a good fit and if we like one another, we will proceed with a deposit and inviting you into our extended family.

Daintree Kennels has developed our method of caring for our dogs over the past 16 years. We entrust that our dogs will go to homes where their high quality, holistic lifestyles will be maintained. We expect that they will be fed, trained and cared for in the same method or similar to what we currently use. If this does not mesh with your way of doing things, we probably won't be a good match.

This completed form in no way guarantees any approvals or agreements. There are several more steps to complete in order to be considered for one of our adult dogs.

We give preference to homes in Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Washington and Idaho. Applicants in other areas of Canada or the United States are encouraged to apply for a puppy closer to home. American applicants outside of the Pacific Northwest will also be considered if there is a specific reason for applying with this kennel, however due to cost and distance of travel it is normally easier for those far away to look in neighbouring states and provinces first. If you are sold on Daintree and no distance would stop you, then go for it! We have placed puppies in dozens of US states from Alaska to Florida, New Jersey to Texas, and Connecticut to California. Abroad, Daintree has sent dogs to Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Scotland as well.

Upon submission, you will arrive at a page acknowledging your form was sent successfully. If you do not get this message, something has glitched and we will not know that you have completed it. Technology being what it is, you may want to take screen shots or copy/save your responses to a separate email or document.
