If you miss spring puppy season, you'll have to wait until the fall

My goal for this email is to:

help you understand the puppy purchase process.

So that you can choose the right puppy match for your family when the time comes.

Yesterday morning, as I was speaking with our devoted executive assistant, Jody-Lynn, at our daily morning meeting, it occurred to me that maybe some in our community don’t quite understand the way puppies work at the Dire Wolf Project.

The Dire Wolf Project is NOT a puppy mill.

And as such, we do not have constant litters lined up all throughout the year.

We do not have tens of females producing a new litter month after month.

We are also a rare breed not mainstreamed, like the Golden Doodle, the Labrador Retriever, or any other popular household breed.

Here at the Dire Wolf Project, there are only TWO PUPPY SEASONS a year:

SPRING & FALL

It is extremely rare when we have puppies between these two seasons.

This week, we have now OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED three upcoming litters for our spring puppy season.

SO…

If you are planning on getting a puppy from the Dire Wolf Project anytime in the next 9 months NOW is the time to go active for any or all officially confirmed upcoming litters.

You do not have to get a puppy if you go active.

But it does give you the option to choose a puppy when your name comes up on the waiting list.

If you do not go active at this time for these litters, I will skip over your name assuming you wish to continue to wait until this fall (or later) to bring home your new furry companion.

Remember, the Dire Wolf Project’s Inner Circle email newsletter is the ONLY place to receive regular puppy/litter updates.

Each day (M-F) I share stories about the puppies not posted anywhere else so that you can make the best decision for your family.

As the spring puppy season approaches, you’ll want to stay on top of our emails to make sure you do not miss any important news on our upcoming litters.

Because this email subscription is the ONLY PLACE to receive the important information you need to make an informed choice, unsubscribing from the Dire Wolf Project’s Inner Circle email newsletters tells me you are no longer interested in getting a puppy from us or in our work.

We wish you all the best in your search for your new furry companion.

For those who choose to remain, we have many wonderful things lined up this year with many fun and exciting times ahead.

So, if you have been officially approved and are planning on a puppy from the Dire Wolf Project in the next nine months, reply to this email to go active on the waiting list.

P.S. If you are interested in a puppy from one of our spring litters but are not yet approved, the first step is to complete our online puppy adoption questionnaire.
