    Shore Acres Chesapeakes Puppy Application

  • Welcome!

    At Shore Acres Chesapeakes, we believe the right placement matters just as much as responsible, ethical breeding. We take time to get to know each potential family before making placement decisions — because our goal is to match each puppy with a home where they’ll truly thrive for life.

    This short questionnaire is the first step in that process. It helps us understand whether a Shore Acres puppy may be the right fit for your home, lifestyle, and goals.

    We’re so glad you’re here and grateful you’re taking the time to learn more about our program. Please know — not every home will be the perfect match, and that’s okay. We’re committed to honoring what’s best for each individual puppy and the families who love them. 

    Please answer honestly — there are no wrong answers, only right fits. This helps us ensure each pup is placed in a home that’s aligned with their energy, needs, and purpose.
