Not currently serviced
Alaska · Hawaii
We don't currently deliver to Alaska or Hawaii. Longer transit, additional health-certificate requirements, and the risk of extended air travel for an 8-week-old puppy make it a poor fit for our standard of care. If that changes, this page updates.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you deliver to Hawaii or Alaska?
- Not currently. We deliver to all 48 continental US states plus the District of Columbia.
- How does hand-delivery work logistically?
- We drive the puppy to your door ourselves. Deliveries run Monday through Saturday; long-haul routes (four-plus hours one-way) run Monday through Friday.
- What's included in the delivery fee?
- Everything from our driveway to yours. The fee on this page is the fee on your invoice.
- Can I meet you partway to save on delivery?
- Yes. Any family may meet us in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, or Washington DC at no cost. A meetup elsewhere is priced as a delivery to that state.
- Is the puppy in a crate during delivery?
- Yes — sized so they can stand, turn, and lie down comfortably.
- Do you offer flight nanny service?
- For the three Pacific Coast states — California, Oregon, and Washington — the puppy flies in-cabin, either with us personally or with a trusted flight nanny. The $1,550 fee covers the full trip, door to door. For every other state we drive.
