Process
Every Minion's journey begins with a process to ensure they find the perfect forever family
As we were becoming first time dog owners our self, I felt it was very straightforward and reassuring to see how in depth you were in the process and that everything was covered in the vetting process, it showed to us how much you cared for the minions.

1. Initial Contact
We take finding the right homes for our Minions seriously. Vetting helps us get to know you and your expectations.
You can complete vetting in two ways:
-
📞Phone Call: A friendly conversation where we answer your questions and review our vetting form together.
-
✉️Email Form: We'll send you a form to complete, followed by a short phone call to discuss.
✅ Completing this step also grants you access to our private Facebook Community — where you can meet other Minion families and learn more about life with a Forest Minion!
2. Viewings
Once vetting is successfully completed, we’ll invite you for a viewing.
-
Local Families: You're welcome to visit us in person, meet our Minions, and experience our environment firsthand.
-
Distant Families: We offer video calls for families who are too far for an in-person visit — so you can still meet and bond virtually.
3. Decision Time
Choosing a new family member is a big decision — we want you to take your time.
During your visit, you won't be asked to commit immediately. We encourage you to go home, reflect, and only move forward when you’re 100% confident.
(The only exception is if a Minion is ready to leave us.)
✨ Remember:
Visiting does not create any obligation — it's simply part of ensuring the best match for you and for our Minions.
4. Moving Forward
Once you decide to proceed with your chosen Minion, we’ll guide you through the next steps:
-
You'll receive an email with detailed instructions and a copy of our sales contract.
-
If your Minion isn't quite ready yet, a small non-refundable holding fee may apply to reserve them.
-
We’ll keep you regularly updated as we approach the collection date.
✨If your Minion is ready now and you're prepared to move ahead immediately, please continue to Step 5.
5. Collection Day
The big day has arrived!
During collection, we’ll review and sign contract of sale which forms a part of the document you will receive.
📄Document Pack consist of all the important files such as the vaccination card, Microchip change over instructions, copy of recent health check, copy of parent's testing and much more!
📦You’ll also receive a puppy pack, which includes toys, a scented blanket, food, puppy pads, and other essentials to help your Minion settle in comfortably.
✨We also schedule a follow-up call after collection to hear how things are going — because your journey with us doesn’t end at pickup!
