Little Puppies the Long Way has Puppies Available for Adoption!
At Little Puppies the Long Way, we are committed to ensuring our puppies go to loving, responsible homes. We currently have puppies available for adoption, as well as a waitlist for upcoming litters.
Adopting an Available Puppy
Each puppy goes home with an adoption contract/health guarantee (last update: 1/2/26), plus a box full of goodies and a detailed training guide to help you continue their progress at home. Our prices generally range from $2,500–$4,000, and we do our best to be flexible within reason to help wonderful families find the right match.
For families interested in puppies that are currently available, the process is as follows:
Application & Meeting: All interested parties must complete an application form for their chosen puppy. After reviewing your application, we will contact you for a follow-up video or in person meeting. This gives you the opportunity to meet the puppies and gives both parties a chance to ask any additional questions before moving to next steps.
Reserve Your Puppy: We require a $500 deposit to officially reserve your puppy. Once the deposit is received, your puppy will be marked as "reserved." The remaining balance is due either in advance or at the time of pickup. We accept debit and credit card payments, and payment plans may be offered at our discretion. Taxes are included in the listed price—no additional fees beyond the advertised amount.
Regular Updates: Once your puppy is reserved, you will receive regular updates on their progress until the designated pickup date. We encourage all of our adoptive families to stay in touch, ask for advice, and prepare for their new puppy’s arrival.
Joining the Waitlist
For families interested in future litters, we offer the option to join our waitlist. Here’s how it works:
Application & Video Call: Just like with adopting an available puppy, all interested parties must complete an application form and have a video or in-person meeting to ensure we are a good fit for your family.
Waitlist Process: Families on the waitlist will be contacted to schedule a visit when we have updated our available puppies. All visits take place after 8 weeks old, allowing us to start vaccines and assess temperaments. Puppies without scheduled visits by 8 weeks will be available to new applicants.
Reserve Your Puppy: After all visits are completed, you may be invited to place a deposit on a puppy. You will have 24 hours from that invitation to submit your $500 deposit before we move on to the next interested family. Once the deposit is received, your puppy will be marked as “reserved.”
Regular Updates: Families on the waitlist will also receive regular updates on the puppies’ training progress until their new puppy is ready for pickup.

Local Delivery: The first hour of travel (round trip) is free.
Additional Travel: $30 per hour for travel beyond the first hour (not exceeding 6 hours).

Dognality: Tsuki is a sweet little muffin with a definite side of spice. You would never know it from the way she loves people but put her in the ring with her brothers and she will happily show them who is boss. She may be sweet, but she isn't afraid to stand her ground.
With people, Tsuki is an absolute love bug. She loves her belly scratches and is quite content to sit there and soak up all the attention you are willing to give her. She has a way of stealing your heart before you even realize what's happened.
When it comes to play, Tsuki can definitely hold her own. She enjoys getting into the action with her brothers and isn't afraid to show off that spicy little personality. At the same time, she is just as happy to settle down afterward and be loved on.
Training is a little more mellow for Tsuki. She is happy to participate and will give things a try, but she is also perfectly content to sit there and look cute for you. We are working on helping her learn that being content doesn't always mean being the center of attention or having someone cater to her.
Being the center of attention is a hard job, but someone has to do it, and Tsuki thinks it might as well be her. She is sweet, affectionate, confident, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting.
