Will I be able to visit my puppy or speak to the breeder before my puppy comes home?

Finding a puppy locally used to be an experience where you were limited to the breeds and breeders nearest you regardless of their breeding experience, health standards and quality of bloodlines. Pawrade was designed to connect you with your favorite dog breed no matter where you and the breeder live. If time permits in the adoption process, we'll send you videos of your puppy playing or snuggling. As a result, the first time you'll meet your new best friend in person is when he or she arrives to their furever home with her tail wagging anxious to give wet kisses.

Our process is designed to eliminate all the intimidating unknowns when it comes to adopting a puppy from a breeder you have no history on or working relationship. We work for you.

If you feel it's necessary to speak to the breeder we'll do our best to connect you while accompanied by one of our puppy experts.

What methods of payment do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards including ach and bank transfers. Some puppies may come with an optional payment plan which must be paid in full prior to delivery.

Do you offer discounts?

Various times throughout the year we may run adoption promotions. Text #Pawrade to 1-410-346-2735 to be notified of upcoming promotions.

What is your refund policy?

We do not offer refunds as you are agreeing to adopt and care for a living companion. We never pressure you to make an impulse decision. Most puppies have a short period of time to find their furever home. By cancelling your adoption promise you shorten the likelihood your puppy will be able to find a home. We care to only work with pawsome pet parents who can absolutely care for their four legged bundle of joy.
