We can’t believe it’s the end of January already! Did you have a resolution this year? We have a few! In 2025, we want to continue be a resource to our customers as they face the first days and weeks of puppy parenthood, uplift our community, and of course to match even more puppies with their perfect forever homes! As we head into the month of love, we hope to spread the unique joy of bringing home to more hearts around the Valley and Tucson. | |

For February, we are doing a series of special blogs on kids and dogs! If you have children and are thinking about getting a new puppy or have recently brought one home, this series will be for you. From finding a doggy soulmate to safety tips to games to play together, we are here to walk you through the ins and outs of building a bond that will last a lifetime. | |
Did you know that dogs can help heal our hearts? No, we don’t mean physically (though dog owners are shown to have better cardiovascular health!) but emotionally. A recent article in Psychology Today illustrates how dogs can help us with our attachment patterns by providing consistent affection. This is in addition to their positive impact on our mood and stress levels. Aren’t dogs just amazing? | |

February is Pet Dental Health Month. This ofte-overlooked aspect of dog grooming can have a major impact on your dog’s life. Proactively brushing your dog’s teeth can reduce tartar, prevent future dental extractions, and even extend their lives! Not to mention, it keeps their breath minty fresh. We love all our dogs, but we maybe could do without the dog breath!

We are proud to work with breeders that are committed to animal welfare, and twice per year we even visit a number of these breeders! Meet one of the breeders from our latest trip - Kelley Luttrell!
Some words from Kelley:
"In addition to owning and operating my breeding facility, I have owned and operated my own grooming business and boarding facility. My breeding dogs and the puppies I raise are my heart and soul. It’s very rewarding to raise happy, healthy and very well socialized fur babies to bring many years of love and joy to other peoples’ lives.”

We assume a lifetime responsibility for every puppy we send home. Our Homes for Life program is the result of this commitment and our dedication to preventing pet homelessness.
We understand that for unfortunate and unforeseen reasons sometimes customers who purchase our puppies can no longer care for them. For this reason, our customers agree to relinquish the dog to us, not a shelter.
We do this to ensure that we can find them a new, loving home but first provide them with the rehabilitation and care that they may need in addition to a neuter/spay as part of our commitment to responsible pet ownership.

If you're new around here, please watch our newest introduction video that illustrates our mission, values, how we care for our puppies and our quality breeders: | |
To ensure that all of our puppies find homes in a timely manner, we reduce their price as they age.
By no means are we lowering the cost of these puppies because they are in any way less valuable, but it’s our mission to find each of our puppies a permanent, loving home as quickly as possible.

Our star of the month is a bit of a cat… a copycat, that is! Baby Barnaby the Maltese loves to copy what his big sister Dove does! | |

Barnaby
What was your experience like with Animal Kingdom?
I had a great experience with Animal Kingdom/Puppies N Love! The staff was friendly and took the time to inform me answer all my questions about Barnaby's background.
How does your puppy make your life better?
Barnaby is a great addition to my family ! He has a sister named Dove and a best buddy name Remy a mix chihuahua mix . He loves to copy is sister and still be one of the boys with Remy. His love, playful energy, and constant companionship bring so much joy to my days. He has been learning about car rides lately and enjoys going for a cruise.
What is your favorite thing about your puppy?
My favorite thing about Barnaby is his unique personality—he is smart , he catches on so quickly ! But he is always for some goofy antics or loving cuddles.

Recently awarded Phoenix Best in the Valley for Pet Sitting, Hand & Hound is a great resource for pet owners needing extra exercise and enrichment for their pets or coverage while traveling!
At Hand & Hound, they strive to get to know pet owners and their pets as if they were their own while also incorporating professional standards, such as Pet First Aid + CPR training.
They know how hard it is to trust whoever is coming into your home and caring for your pets, so every sitter is expected to be fully transparent and communicate all details to pet owners, through a mobile app that has GPS-verified reports.
Like your neighbor, but with more credentials!

ARIZONA RANKS HIGH ON BBB'S LIST OF PUPPY SCAMS COMMITTED IN 2022 | |
|
In the last few years, online pet scams are on the rise and have caused grief for people seeking new pets, with little to no recourse for the victims.
According to the Better Business Bureau, Arizona is at the top of the list for puppy scams per 100k people.
California is the state with the most reported puppy scams, with 167 scams reported to the Better Business Bureau from January 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. This makes up more than 10% of the total number of scams reported nationwide.

If you are looking for a puppy, be careful & remain vigilant!
Here is how to spot a puppy scam online from AKC:
-
No phone calls. The seller prefers to handle communication by email and not the phone. A reputable breeder will always communicate with you via phone or video chat (if not in person) before selling you a puppy. Fraudulent sellers are oftentimes outside of the U.S. and may be hiding their phone number by only communicating by email.
-
Copycat or stock photos. Photos of the dog or ad text can be found on multiple websites. Search for the text or reverse image search the photos on Google to find out if they were copied.
-
Sketchy payment. The seller asks for wiring of money or payment by gift cards. Be aware that if you choose a non-secure method of payment, it is highly unlikely that you will get your money back. Avoid paying a stranger using apps such as Venmo, as it is harder to get your money back if you don’t get what you paid for.
-
Price is too good to be true. Research the prices for the breed you are considering. Purebred dogs sold at deeply discounted prices are typically frauds. If the seller says they register their dogs with a specific organization, you can call the organization to confirm.
