Our Adoption Process
Welcome to Harmony Hills Yorkies — where passion, ethical breeding, and a lifetime commitment to our puppies come first. At HHY, we specialize in beautiful boutique-style Teddy Bear Yorkshire Terriers that are lovingly raised in our home and socialized from day one to become confident, affectionate, and well-adjusted companions. Our puppies are not mass-produced, kennel-raised, or bred for quantity. Each litter is intentionally planned with a strong focus on health, temperament, structure, and the loving personalities that make Yorkshire Terriers such incredible lifelong companions.
Our puppies are raised directly in our home as part of our family. From the beginning, they are exposed to everyday household sounds, routines, affection, and gentle socialization to help prepare them for a smooth transition into their forever homes. We spend countless hours nurturing, handling, and working with each puppy individually to ensure they are emotionally secure, adaptable, and deeply bonded with people. Many HHY puppies have gone on to become emotional support animals, therapy companions, and even service animals for their families due to their exceptional temperaments and intelligence. Most importantly, they become deeply loved furry family members across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Because the health and safety of our puppies is our top priority, we maintain a strict no in-home visitor policy. Unfortunately, diseases such as parvo can easily be carried unknowingly on shoes, clothing, or hands and can be devastating to young puppies. Additionally, the safety and security of our dogs and family is extremely important to us. To provide complete transparency and peace of mind for our families, we utilize social media, photos, live videos, and video conferencing throughout the adoption process. Our Facebook page offers reviews from past families, nursery updates, puppy progress videos, and a behind-the-scenes look into our program so families can truly get to know us and our dogs.
All HHY puppies are AKC registered, come with a health guarantee and contract, and begin litter box training prior to leaving our home. Our puppies are sold as cherished companions and pets only; however, full AKC rights may occasionally be considered for select puppies to approved breeders who share our values, standards, and commitment to ethical breeding practices.
If you are interested in one of our currently available puppies, please complete our application and email it back to us along with a note specifying which puppy you are interested in. We require a 24-hour approval period during which the puppy will be temporarily placed on hold pending review. Once approved, a non-refundable holding fee of $500 is required to reserve your puppy, which will then be applied toward the remaining balance. Our puppies are typically priced between $3,500 and $5,000 depending on size, structure, pedigree, and overall quality.
For families choosing to adopt through Good Dog, please note that the process and fee structure differ slightly. All payments must be processed directly through the Good Dog platform per their policies. The holding fee through Good Dog is $600, and final payment must be completed at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled adoption date due to processing times that can take up to two business days. While the Good Dog process may include additional fees, many families appreciate the added payment security and protection provided through a trusted company that carefully screens both breeders and buyers to help create a safe, transparent, and stress-free adoption experience.
At HHY, we take immense pride in the quality, care, and dedication that goes into every single puppy we raise. Boutique Teddy Bear Yorkies are not inexpensive — and they should not be. Ethical breeding requires extensive health testing, proper veterinary care, high-quality nutrition, socialization, time, emotional investment, and a genuine commitment to preserving and improving the breed. While there may always be “cheaper” puppies available elsewhere, the difference in quality, health, temperament, support, and ethical standards is truly unmatched. Our families quickly learn that an HHY puppy is worth every penny for the love, companionship, beauty, and joy they bring into a home for years to come.
