WELCOME TO MIDNIGHT ACRES KENNEL
Dear Fur Baby Families,
I hope this letter finds all of you well. After much consideration, I have decided to retire and close Midnight Acres Kennel after 27 wonderful years. It has been an incredible journey, filled with loyal customers, wagging tails, and countless memories.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this venture—the customers who have trusted us, the dedicated staff who worked tirelessly, and the furry companions who brightened our days. Each wagging tail and joyful bark has left an indelible mark on my heart.
As I step into this new chapter of my life, I will cherish the friendships, the laughter, and the shared love for dogs. While I will miss the hustle and bustle of the business, I am excited to embrace my golden years and spend more time with my husband and our own four-legged companions.
To all the families who welcomed our furry companions into their lives, thank you. Your love and care have made this journey truly special. May your homes continue to be filled with laughter, paw prints, and unconditional love. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance during this transition. I look forward to staying connected with all of you.
We still have lots of puppies, until September, that need to find their fur-ever home. We will honor our guarantee. If you, or anybody you know, is looking for that perfect puppy, please send them our way.
With warm regards,
Pat Self

ADVANTAGES OF AN OLDER PUPPY
When it comes to adding a new furry member to your family, many people instinctively think of bringing home a young, adorable puppy. However, there are several advantages to considering an older puppy, which can make the experience of pet ownership more rewarding and less demanding.
Advantages:
More developed bladders, so they can hold it more reliably for potty training.
A little more mature, so better impulse control and attention abilities.
More self-sufficient and better at being alone since they have been away from their siblings for quite a while.
Fewer surprises when it comes to temperament or personality (there are always some, but you can predict them better).
Fewer surprises on adult size since they will be close to their adult height. (Teething is pretty much done, so no land sharks!
Regular vaccinations, deworming, and veterinary check-ups have been done to ensure their well-being.
Older puppies have had more time to develop and are sturdier and more able to easily make the transition to a new home.
Older puppies have developed emotional maturity and patience, making it easier for them to establish a bond with their new family members.
They are often more attentive, affectionate, and capable of understanding cues and the behaviors you desire. This can lead to a deeper and more immediate connection, allowing you to form a strong bond and create a sense of companionship sooner than you might with a younger puppy.
