Paws of Love

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I get when I bring home a Paws of Love puppy?
Every Paws of Love puppy comes with AKC registration papers and is up to date on vaccinations. We also provide a small starter pack with food, a familiar toy, and helpful care instructions to make the transition smoother for you and your puppy.
How do you raise Paws of Love puppies?
Our puppies are part of our family from the moment they are born. They are raised with love, care, and attention and introduced to a family setting early so they become comfortable around people and prepared for home life.
Can I visit to meet the puppies at Paws of Love?
Yes. We encourage families to visit our home to meet their puppy, see where the puppy was raised, and begin building a bond before going home. Visits are arranged in advance.
What health guarantees do you offer for your puppies?
We provide a one-year guarantee against life-threatening genetic defects involving the heart, lungs, or liver. Buyers have 72 hours after pickup to have their puppy examined by a veterinarian. Qualifying claims are handled according to the customer agreement.
What makes Paws of Love different from other breeders?
Our sires and dams are carefully selected and imported from Russia and Japan. Our dogs are AKC-registered purebred Samoyeds or Shiba Inus, and we work to preserve the intelligence, temperament, loyalty, and appearance that distinguish these bloodlines.
How do you care for the health of your dogs and puppies?
We maintain a health program for puppies and adult dogs that includes regular checkups, vaccinations, and a nutritious diet. Puppies are microchipped, kept up to date on vaccinations, and screened by a veterinarian.
What is the process for adopting a puppy from Paws of Love?
Choose the puppy you are interested in and contact us to confirm availability and arrange the next steps. A deposit reserves the puppy, with the remaining balance due at pickup. Deposits are nonrefundable.
What pickup and delivery options are available?
Families are encouraged to pick up at our home. We offer free delivery within a 100-mile radius, may arrange to meet families halfway, and can discuss extended or out-of-state delivery for an additional fee.
