Pre-Adoption Application [click
here]
Once you have decided that a Strauss Haus Shepherds puppy is right for you,
fill out our application completely. Be as specific as you can about what you
are looking for in a pup, as well as your experience level with dogs. Your
application must be received with either a deposit or prepayment to be placed
on one of our puppy lists.
Once prepayment is received by Strauss Haus Shepherds, you will receive email updates on all the litters that take place here. Your deposit or prepayment will secure your place on a puppy list. Prepayments go to the top of the list, based on the date received. The email updates will include when our girls go into heat, when they are bred, and when the puppies are born. You will get photo updates at birth and approximately every 2 to 3 weeks, as the puppies grow. The litter will be evaluated at 8 weeks of age and puppies will be matched with the families immediately following. It is important for you to be very clear on what you are looking for in a puppy, and where you can be flexible.
Please note that contracts and agreements must be read, filled out and signed by buyer and complete payment received by Strauss Haus Shepherds, two weeks prior to the litter evaluation, or when the puppies are 6 weeks old. Failure to do so may impact your getting a puppy from your chosen litter and you may have to wait for the next available litter. Puppies will be ready to go to their new homes two days following the litter evaluation. Please make sure that you provide a phone number to Strauss Haus for the puppy placement phone call on the evening of the litter evaluation.
