Our adult dogs are pre-loved and highly valued members of the Daintree family. We just want them to get even more love and attention for the years that they have left.
Part 1- Reservation Process
Thanks for your interest in a Daintree retiring adult dog!
Please fill out the questionnaire below. This will allow you and those of us at Daintree to evaluate our likelihood of being a match for one another.
Once the form below has been reviewed, you will be contacted back via phone or email within a few days. We will invite you to send a few photos of your home, yard and family out doing fun stuff. Photos? Really? Yes, really. You could also send video. We normally can't meet you in person due to the distance between you and our remote location, though prospective buyers are welcome by appointment. 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 the puppy will live in your home. We will send you a list of ideas of what to provide and please 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.
Sometimes we get very busy raising puppies and the email response time can suffer. Be patient but please feel free to follow up, because technology isn't foolproof and we are only human.
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 gives us a basic understanding of your lifestyle and a starting point to take the conversation further. We will 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 added to our wait list.
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.
