All of our puppies will go home with a "Gotcha Day" gift basket full of toys. supplies, and a blanket that has the mother's scent to help sooth your puppy on their first nights away from their littermates and mom. We do not charge application fees or take down payments before we have actual puppies available. Since our puppies do find homes all over the U.S. you will choose your puppy from pictures provided and place your deposit on the puppy of your choice. At 6-7 weeks of age (after puppies have received their first round of vaccines) we encourage nearby families to come and spend time with their puppy. In the summer time we plan an outside Puppy Party where we have mini agility equipment, kiddy pool, and toys available. This is a time to meet your puppy, us, and other families. Families of winter litters can see your puppy by individual appointment. Puppies will be ready to leave at 8 weeks of age.  If you are from out of state then we are willing to meet you at Bangor International Airport (BIA) so the puppy can fly home with you in the cabin. We do not ship puppies.

Our one kid/two puppy family gives Winter Harbor Inn an 11/10 because it's very clean, spacious,…read morecomfortable, and charming--a short walk from the grocery, restaurants, and historic downtown (cute, artsy, full of fishing boats). A dog-friendly, free shuttle will pick you up at the doorstep and take you around Schoodic Point (the prettiest part of Acadia National Park) and drop you back at the Inn after a hike. The backyard is fenced and has several outdoor seating areas where you can play fetch with Fido, sit by the fire, read a book in the hammock, or have a cookout (grill, wood, utensils, etc. provided) in a beautifully candle-lit setting. We also enjoyed playing board games with our 11 year old (they have hundreds!) one rainy night, how wonderful that our dogs could hang out in the room with us--Leisure Lee, especially, appreciated the dog bed provided. There's on site pet-sitting offered for an extra fee. But not with just anyone! Pam and Arnold are pet experts, breeders (pugs), groomers--they know animals inside/out and really spend time with them (long walks on the beach, playtime, feedings, etc.--they treat pets like people). We asked them to sit with our two puppies (bloodhound and boxer-mix--leather- chewing piranhas, really) from 6 am to 9 pm while we went into Bar Harbor for the day and when we returned Azy was in Pam's lap, and Leisure Lee was asleep, listening to music, by the fire--I don't know of any conventional hotel that offers pet-owners such peace of mind via this service. The breakfast--wow! Fresh fruit, yogurt, granola bars, organic oatmeal, bagels, cream cheese, wheat germ--you can eat healthy if you wish, but they also have pop tarts, kid-cereals, chocolate muffins, fancy creamers for coffee, all sorts of juices, unlimited pet treats and bottled waters. A family on a budget, we loved that we were able to place our own groceries, too, on the fridge shelf provided. That said, Three Sisters Café, down the road a ways, offered great deals on good food when we ate out, and the food stand in front of The Fisherman's Inn had inexpensive lobster rolls to die for. While there, we met an Italian couple, a family from Maine, and a retired librarian--all quiet, conscientious, interesting folks we loved meeting. But Pam and Arnold are the warm, whip-smart people (add to their pet-knowledge incomparable knowledge of fun things to do in the area) that really make the place into a one-of-a-kind, exceptional home away from home--they go way out of their way to make sure their guests are cared for, comfortable, and happy. We loved our trip here, and plan to go back, often.

When my husband told me we were going to be staying here for the night, and I saw that they boarded…read moreanimals, I jokingly asked if we were going to be crated. Turns out, we almost were. We were "greeted" by Arnold, telling us that we had the best room in the house, and because the rest of the inn was booked, we were to stay in that room only. It had a tiny, up high window, was about 40 degrees for several hours until it heated up, there was no water, kettle, or SOAP! When we asked for soap and shampoo, we were told that they were not included. We also were told that there would be no breakfast or even coffee. We were there offseason, so nothing else was open, so we just stayed in that terrible, claustrophobic, freezing cold room with no water. It was the worst place that my husband and I remember ever staying.

I went in over the weekend looking for recall/training leads for my dogs. They were completely out…read moreof stock, or they were doing a reset in the area, hard to tell. Anyway, walked around and looked for someone to help, maybe to look in the back and see if they had some not stocked yet - no one other than the cashiers were around to help. It was a Sunday, so i was pretty surprised to find that that was the case. We walked out of the store empty handed. I ordered the items online through Amazon instead. In the past, Autumn has been fairly helpful/engaging - she works a lot of the demos - she wasn't there that day.

Since my review on 4/4/24, I received no call from Corporate to address the original complaint I…read morefiled after the last incident. I resorted to engaging the Better Business Bureau in an attempt to get some answers. At this point, I felt their disabling of my online access and banning my dog from their grooming services was a retaliatory effort due to the complaints the store has received from me. Keep in mind those complaints sought to address serious fire safety violations, OSHA concerns and poor customer service from Management. I finally got a response in late April from the Corporate head quarters and this is what they said (I won't hide one word from their response). "After reviewing the feedback from our groomers/store partners, it has come to our attention that there have been multiple instances where they have felt disrespected and treated unprofessionally by you during the grooming sessions for your dog. This has created an uncomfortable working environment for our employees, which is something we take very seriously. As a result, you will not be groomed at this location in the future. And while we wish that we could further assist you, we have policies that we need to enforce, and we reserve the right to refuse service to guests as we see fit." First off, this is news to me because I have had great interactions with the 2 groomers I have ever worked with. When I asked for the dates of these occurrences so I can cross reference them with actual grooming appointments, they failed to respond. Unfortunately the consumer is to be blamed in this instance even though none of what they stated was true. I have my suspicions as to why the store would make up something like this, as I know a couple of the workers there and they would make up stuff just to ban a customer out of spite. I would use this store with caution, given if someone like myself who puts thousands of dollars a year into the store gets banned for "NO" reason, but a made up story so the workers are not disciplined for their actions then it tells me everything I need to know about their brand, mission and how they treat loyal customers. There are dogs who I have seen bite their groomers who are still being groomed today, yet my dog has done nothing and gets banned. Hmmm double standard here or just personal preference on the part of the groomers to choose who they feel should get their services rather than the consumer decide who gets paid for their services.

It is so unnatural for a dog to be terrified of people, I don't know what that horrible lady and her family did dogs, but I've had my dog for a few years now and terrified of humans. Act like she used to get hit and smacked and never has to take it and hide it and just awful to watch this dog be so scared of humans years after getting her and imagining what they must've done to her I can't imagine. Upon adoption, I brought her to the vet and the vet veterinarian immediately called and reported this lady because of the clear neglect mist treatment and abuse of her animals. I would hope nobody would ever adopt from here again and the word to make people more aware of how awful she is.
