Dog/Puppy Application

At Forest City Standards, our goal is to place each puppy in a home where they can truly thrive for a lifetime. This application helps us get to know you—your lifestyle, experience, and goals—so we can make thoughtful, well-informed matches. We don’t expect families to be perfect or to change who they are to fit a mold. Instead, we believe the best matches happen when a puppy’s temperament, energy level, and needs align naturally with a home as it already exists. The information you share here allows us to evaluate fit, guide placement decisions, and ensure that both you and your future puppy are set up for long-term success. We appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions carefully. Your responses are an important part of our placement process and help us match puppies to families with intention and care.
