How to use Good Dog

We’re so excited to help you find your new best friend! Here’s what you can expect when you find a puppy on Good Dog:

  1. Search for puppies
    ​​​​​​​​​
    ​​​​​​​​​​Search for a dog breed on our homepage to find available puppies and breeders near you. Select a puppy to learn more details about them, their breeder’s program, pricing, health testing, transportation options, and more. As you search, you can favorite puppies and breeders by selecting the heart icon in the top right corner of a puppy or breeder search result card. You can revisit them from your Good Dog dashboard anytime.
    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
  2. Request more information
    ​​​​​​​​​
    ​​​​​​​​​​If you’d like to learn more about a puppy or a breeder, select “Request info” to connect directly with a breeder. Your breeder will then contact you with more info about what's next. Note: If you’ve found breeders or puppies that you like but you’re not ready to contact them, or if you’re interested in breeders who don’t have current litters, you can “favorite” a breeder or a puppy. When you favorite a breeder or a puppy, you’ll get updates about puppy availability and new litters.
    ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
  3. Work with your breeder to finalize your puppy
    ​​
    Chat with your breeder to learn about their program, ask questions, and select your pup together. You’ll work with them to finalize your puppy choice, plan pickup, and more. Your breeder may require a deposit at this stage.
    ​​​
  4. Welcome your new pup
    ​​​
    Bring on the belly rubs – it’s time for your new pup to come home!

All payments on Good Dog are secure and protected. When you pay with Good Dog Protection & Support, you're backed by Good Dog Payment Protection.

Our team is here to give you the peace of mind you deserve during your puppy search. Feel free to email or call us anytime with questions! 🐶
