How to Bring a Puppy
Home with Us
We are committed to placing every PB Shih Tzu puppy with a family that's truly ready for them. Our process is simple, personal, and fully transparent — from the first message to the moment your puppy walks through your door.
Every adoption begins
with a conversation
We don't process puppies like orders. Henry personally speaks with every family before anything is confirmed. Whether you're reserving an available pup or joining the waitlist for an upcoming litter, it always starts with you reaching out.
Reserves your puppy
Once Henry confirms your reservation, your puppy is held exclusively for you — no one else can claim them.
Everything in writing
You receive a clear written agreement covering ownership, health guarantee, and pickup terms before any payment.
Local pickup only
We do not ship puppies. Every family meets Henry in person in Dallas. This is non-negotiable — and intentional.
Your written agreement covers everything
Before your puppy comes home, you will have in writing exactly what you're getting, what we guarantee, and what's expected from both sides. No surprises.
- ✔Puppy's identity, AKC registration details, and pedigree
- ✔Your name as the new legal owner
- ✔Health guarantee and breeder responsibilities
- ✔Deposit amount and balance due at pickup
- ✔Pickup date and terms
Two ways to bring your pup home
Reserving an Available Puppy
You've found the one. Here's how to make it official. Henry does this personally — no online checkout, no payment processor. Just people.
Reach Out to Henry
Send a message through the website, email, or call/text directly. Tell Henry which puppy you're interested in and a little about your family. He'll respond personally within 24 hours.
Confirm Your Reservation
Henry will confirm the puppy is still available and discuss a deposit to hold them. Once the deposit is received, your puppy is officially yours — no one else can inquire.
Receive Your Written Agreement
You'll receive a written summary of everything: the puppy's details, your ownership, the health guarantee, and pickup terms. This is your peace of mind in writing.
- ✔Puppy identity and AKC registration
- ✔Your name as legal owner
- ✔Health guarantee terms
- ✔Pickup date and balance due
Pickup Day in Dallas
When your puppy reaches going-home age (minimum 6 weeks), you'll come to Henry's home in Dallas. Balance is paid in cash. Henry walks you through everything and sends your puppy home right.
Local pickup is the only option we offer — intentionally. Meeting in person means Henry can answer every question face to face and make sure every puppy goes to a home he trusts.
Why a deposit is required
We never hold puppies on a promise. A deposit protects your puppy and your place — here's exactly what it does for both sides.
Exclusive hold
Your puppy is immediately marked Reserved and completely off the market. No one else can claim them — no matter how many inquiries come in.
Activates prep
Once confirmed, Henry begins final health checks, vaccination scheduling, and preparing everything your puppy needs for their transition.
Triggers your paperwork
Your written agreement is only issued after deposit. It's what makes the ownership transfer official, traceable, and protected.
Mutual commitment
A deposit signals that both sides are serious. Henry dedicates his full personal attention to preparing your specific puppy from that point on.
Transparency &
Your Protection
Henry has been doing this for over 11 years. In that time, he's learned that the clearest process produces the happiest families. Every adoption is documented. Every agreement is in writing. No grey areas, no verbal-only promises.
Puppy's identity
Full AKC registration details and pedigree provided upfront.
Ownership in your name
Legal transfer documented from the moment your deposit is received.
Clear payment terms
