help us bring home
our newest family member
After years of research, and making sure we have adequate space and time, Nora's wish is finally coming true. We've decided it's time to add a four-legged member to our family! After meeting with a dog purchase advisor and doing lots of research, we've decided a Labrador would be the perfect fit for us.
For anyone who would like to help us make it happen, we've created a little Puppy Fund. Contributions will go toward bringing our puppy home and getting everything needed for a great start--supplies, vet care, training, and all other puppy essentials.
There's absolutely no obligation--we just wanted to give an easy way to contribute if you'd like to be part of welcoming our newest family member.
