It's all about

1

Connect

Take your time to browse available puppies. Our puppy associates along with the breeder will answer any questions you may have. We firmly believe in building a relationship between you and your breeder. We track and record all communications to ensure a safe and smooth transaction. Feel free to call us, email us, text message us, you name it. We are here for you.
2

Screening

We require you complete the Buyer Questionnaire so our breeders and our puppy associates have a better understanding of you, your family, your living arrangements, lifestyle and location.
3

Pay via PetPay

Once you have settled on a puppy and pledge to raise, care and provide for him/her then click the Reserve Me button. You will be directed to our secure payment processing website, PetPay.com. You may place a deposit if the puppy is less than 7 weeks of age, otherwise payment in full is required. Make sure you select your preferred method of travel (we'll finalize with you at a later point in time). No puppy will be released for travel or pickup until payment is made in full. Need financing or payment plans? Please inquire.
4

Coordinate & Plan

After payment is made the breeder must review and accept or decline your adoption request. Upon acceptance we begin the adoption process. We manually review every transaction. During this stage we will be in touch with you to confirm your identity (if need be) and to finalize your plans for travel. As travel plans are made you will receive continual updates via SMS text messaging and email. Take this time to begin prepping your house for your puppy's arrival. It is important to understand we take a Puppy First Approach to ensure the health and well being with every puppy placement.
5

Head to Tail Veterinary Exam

Before any puppy is allowed to be released we require he or she be 8 weeks of age and meet a suitable weight threshold. Some breeders may opt to hold the puppy until 12 weeks of age for certain breeds. Every puppy must be up-to-date on all vaccinations, pass a head to tail vet exam, and be issued a health certificate before the puppy will be allowed to travel. It is important to remember, these are the breeder's babies and the breeder remains in full control.
6

Travel

Yay! It's time to be united with your fur baby. By this point in time, your travel arrangements have been made. Please read up on our Puppy Travel options here: Puppy Travel. At the time of delivery you will be presented with our Delivery Confirmation and Transfer of Ownership form for your review and signature along with vaccination and health records. We also require a picture of you and your fur baby at the time of delivery. We love these moments!!

Customers Love Us!

Discover what real customers have to say about Pawrade!

We're very happy with having our new addition to our family. He's been such a joy and firecracker who can sure make us laugh. Our 3y/o German Shepherd, Bennys now big brother is extremely fond of him and very, very protective, it took only minutes for this to take place. We couldn't be happier with the process offered here. It guaranteed a safe and peace of mind for everyone involved getting our new loved one home to us. I will use this site again in the future. I totally recommend this for anyone looking for a legit, safe and smooth process for your family.

Renee A. - Indio, CA

I LOVE MY PUPPY!!!! I started my journey about a month and a half ago to find the perfect dog. I got scammed twice so I decided to go with pawrade so I wouldn't fall in love with a dog and then have him/her get taken from me. I'm actually grateful I got scammed because I found my PERFECT puppy. The whole team continually checked up and responded quickly. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

Samantha R. - Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I am very pleased with my experience with pawrade! I am even more pleased with my very adventurous puppy, which we've named Jordan. They kept communication with us throughout the whole process and made everything very clear and transparent. I would recommend pawrade to all of my friends!

Darius M. - Windermere, FL

The service was AWESOME! Beth and Brandon help me out with the online concerns that I was having. They answered all the questions that I had. They also offer a transportation service the bought my puppy Marbles now Sasha Sassy to me. They sent me a locator that allowed me to track their progress. Stephen was great he gave Sasha a bath before he delivered her to me. She was well taken care of during her long journey to Philadelphia. Jess the breeder was very nice she sent weekly pictures to me. Let me know everything in needed to know to make Sasha's transition as easy as possible. Sasha is happy little ball of fur and I can't wait to get home and see her everyday. Thank you all.

Tracee T. - Philadelphia, PA

From the moment we laid eyes on Lucas we knew he was the perfect addition to our family. I couldn't be more pleased with the whole process start to finish. Talking to both Tayna from Pawrade as well as the direct breeder on a regular basis made everything go so smoothly and without incident. The delivery was a peice of cake and he even arrived EARLY! We could not be happier and so far we have a really good tempered puppy. We are so excited and recommend this site to anyone looking to add a furry little friend to their home.
