Joy & Houdini — Two Little Journeys That Became Forever Homes
Joy, the tiny Toy Poodle with a playful personality, made the trip home to Illinois and settled in almost immediately — confident, affectionate, and already bonded to her family by the first evening.
Houdini left us curious & full of life. He explored every corner of his new home with fearless enthusiasm and quickly took over the hearts (and routines) of his family. And now they can’t imagine life without him.
How To Bring Your Poodle Puppy Home
An Easy Trip from Illinois (Closer Than You Think)
Many Illinois families are surprised at how simple the trip actually is. We will meet you in Saint Louis, MO at no additional cost.
Driving:
Chicago → St. Louis: ~4.5 hours
Central Illinois → St. Louis: Often 3–4 hours
St. Louis area → Delivered to you!
Flying:
✈️ About a 1.5 hour nonstop flight
✈️ You can fly in and return home the SAME DAY with your puppy
We help coordinate timing so your puppy travels home calmly and comfortably.
For many families, the travel becomes part of the memory — the day they meet their new best friend.
We do not ship puppies via cargo or third-party transport, whether by air or ground. We believe meeting face-to-face reduces stress and lowers health risk for your puppy.
Instead, we personally place your puppy into your arms — healthy, prepared, and with you feeling confident about how to care for your new Poodle from day one.
