Adoption Process for Our California Adopters
Through years of experience we have developed a tried and true adoption process devoted to matching the correct puppy with their adopter family. We are strong advocates of thoroughly understanding the adopter family dynamic and preferences and guiding each family in the selection process. Successful adoptions are never accidents and ensuring the bulldog puppy and their family are compatible matches is essential.
Steps of Our Adoption Process
1. First Email and Then Verbal Interview – while adoption questionnaires have long been the standard approach for responsible dog breeders to evaluate potential adopters, we’ve discovered their limitations over the years. Most adopters, regardless of their suitability, can easily provide the “right” answers on a written form. True assessment requires a more personal approach that goes beyond what any static questionnaire can capture. This is why, as responsible English Bulldog breeders, we prioritize direct phone conversations with our potential families. During our discussion, we’ll explore topics like your daily routine, household dynamics, previous pet experience, and what you’re hoping for in a companion to determine if one of our Bruiser Bulldogs would thrive in your home.
2. Deposit – We require a non-refundable $500 deposit to join our wait list for the next English Bulldog puppy available.
3. Choosing your English Bulldog Puppy – When an adopter reaches the top of our wait list, we initiate the puppy selection process. Before making any decisions, we’ll provide photos of all available English Bulldog puppies along with detailed phone discussions about each pup’s unique temperament and characteristics (our personality assessment process is outlined below). We’ll walk you through the individual traits, preferences, and quirks of each potential puppy candidate, helping you understand how each might fit with your family’s lifestyle. While the ultimate choice remains entirely with the adopting family, we’re committed to offering guidance and insights throughout the decision-making process to ensure you feel confident in your selection.
*English Bulldog Puppy Personality Assessment – To ensure we create the perfect match between each bulldog puppy and their forever family, we must first thoroughly understand each individual puppy’s unique temperament. Our personality assessment involves extensive one-on-one time with each puppy, carefully observing their energy patterns, social behaviors, and natural tendencies. This comprehensive evaluation process cannot be rushed and requires puppies to reach 4-5 weeks of age before we can accurately assess their distinct personalities. While some adopters prefer to select their puppy as early as 2 weeks old, we respectfully decline these requests. Early selection without proper temperament evaluation is counterproductive and can lead to mismatched pairings, as adopters would be choosing their English Bulldog companion without understanding their future pet’s true nature and needs.
4. Puppy Prep – Once we have matched an adopter to one of our English Bulldog puppies, we transition to puppy prep and training. Each adopter receives support training and puppy prep information focused on how to best transition and care for their new bulldog puppy. For our California adopters, many choose to use our puppy nanny service, where a member of our family will fly with your pup to Los Angeles International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, or the nearest California airport. Other adopters choose to fly to our home to pick up. We support either option. While we love to see our bulldog adopters in person, we also understand busy schedules and can discuss the best fit through a phone call.
