Although we would love to house each and every one of our Posh Pets, we also would like all of them to be able to receive the proper care and attention. We have decided to add the option of Guardian home to families that have always wanted a lifelong pet, but would also love to be a major part of our Posh Pet Family. We feel it is important to limit the number of dogs we have in our home that each dog and every puppy that is here gets the proper attention to live a happy life.  Every so often we will have a puppy we purchased, an older dog in our program, or a puppy we kept back from one of our litters available for a guardian home.  You will be getting one of the best dogs we have to offer at an incredibly discounted rate in exchange for your assistance throughout the breeding lifetime of the dog.  Read below to find out more about this opportunity and fill out the application below if you believe you may be a good fit for our guardian home program
