Adoption Process
How it works.
We're intentional about every step. Our process is designed to ensure the right match between our dogs and their families—because that's what produces the best outcomes for everyone.
Submit Your Inquiry
Start by filling out our inquiry form. We want to understand your lifestyle, experience, and what you're looking for in a Miniature Australian Shepherd. There are no wrong answers—just honest ones.
Personal Conversation
We'll reach out to learn more about you and your family. This is a two-way conversation—ask us anything. We want you to feel confident in your decision, and we want to understand if a Chiron Aussie is the right fit for your home.
Waitlist & Pairing
Approved families join our waitlist. When a litter is planned, we'll share details about the pairing—health testing, pedigree, and what we expect from the combination. We match puppies to families based on temperament and lifestyle, not pick order.
Updates & Development
Once your litter arrives, you'll receive regular updates with photos and temperament observations. We evaluate each puppy individually so we can guide the best match for your family.
Homecoming
Your puppy comes home with a comprehensive take-home package, health records, and everything you need to start strong. But this isn't goodbye—it's the beginning of a lifelong partnership.
Lifetime Support
We're here for the life of your dog. Training questions, health guidance, life changes—whatever comes up, you have a partner in us. That's not a policy. It's a promise.
