| | Humans aren’t the only ones celebrating graduations around this time of year. Congratulations to our latest batch of graduates from the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program! | | |
We are now proud to host two different kinds of puppy classes at our Paradise Valley Festival location.
AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Classes are open to puppies that originally came from Animal Kingdom or Puppies ‘N Love ages 6 months and younger.
These classes are all about getting your puppy off to the right start. Under the guidance of an AKC-certified trainer, new puppy owners can form a solid foundation for their puppies that will serve them well for the rest of their lives. Learn more about what goes into an AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy class in our blog post about the subject.

SuperS.T.A.R. Puppy Classes are open to any puppy from Animal Kingdom or Puppies ‘N Love between 6 months and 1 year old. While they are intended as a follow-up for AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program, these clases are also open to puppies that are too old to participate in the S.T.A.R. Puppy classes!
This extended class set aims to bridge the gap between puppies that have completed the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Classes but are still too young and immature to attempt the AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification. Growing puppies also have different needs than young puppies, and this class will focus more on obedience than novel experiences during their socialization window.

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 that we are proud to work with - Vickie Duryea! Vickie primarily breeds athletic dogs, including Australian Shepherds, doodle mixes, and perhaps most notably some absolutely beautiful Labrador Retrievers.
Some words from Vickie:
"Our dogs are our top priority and you can see that from our photos. They are treated like pets, they run around and play and socialize and there is no way we would ever do anything that did not benefit the adult dogs and their puppies.”
| | Some of her dogs currently looking for homes.... | |
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.
| | This sweet Cockapoo is ready for some fun in the sun! This 16-week-old girl is sure to put a smile on your face with her sweet personality. While she did inherit a Cocker Spaniel’s penchant for mischief from her parents, she is very smart and will pick up on training quickly. She’s cuddly, funny, and just all around a great dog. Come meet her today at our Paradise Valley Festival location or give us a call at (602) 996-7599. | |

| | At Animal Kingdom and Puppies ‘N Love, we are in and of the Valley, and we are committed to uplifting other businesses in our community. Here is a business we think you’ll like: | | | | Have you ever wondered where (almost) all of our adorable puppy pictures come from? Our local corner spotlight is our very own Sydney Cisco, a talented freelance photographer that we have been fortunate enough to work with over the past few years. | | Sydney has experience in various areas of photography, but she specializes primarily in portraits, both of people and of pets. Don’t think that she stops at cute puppy photos, either; she can capture stunning photos of cats, reptiles, small mammals, and even fish! Her very favorite furry subject of all is her beloved dog, Billie (a Puppies ‘N Love alum). | | | |
From Sydney: “As an animal lover, pets are my specialty. I have a lot of experience working with and photographing dogs and cats of all ages. It truly brings me joy to meet and capture our furry (or scaly) friends and celebrating them with photos and artworks.”

| | Channeling the Labs' energy into confidence building exercise: | | 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.
