Healthy Puppies Start with Happy Parents

At Picture Perfect Puppy, we believe every perfect puppy starts with well-loved parents. That’s why a big part of the Picture Perfect Puppy Difference is our commitment to raising our moms and dads in warm, caring homes—not kennels.

All of our parent dogs are cherished members of what we call Guardian Homes—forever families who commit to loving, raising, and nurturing our future puppy parents as their own.

🏡 What Is the Guardian Home Program?

Our Guardian Home Program allows families like yours to be part of something special. Approved families welcome one of our hand-selected breeding dogs into their home as a forever pet, while we handle all breeding-related responsibilities.

Here’s how it works:

1. Reach out via email to express interest.

2. We’ll provide program details and an application.

3. If approved, you’ll be matched with a puppy to raise as your own.

You cover the normal costs of pet ownership—food, vet visits, grooming, love. We cover everything related to breeding.

When it’s time, mama dogs come back to PPP to deliver and care for their puppies until they’re weaned. After their breeding career is complete, they are spayed or neutered and continue living a happy life with you as your full-time pet.

Our Guardian families are the heart of our program. They help us raise dogs who are not only healthy—but joyful, well-socialized, and deeply loved from the very beginning.

Because our puppies are raised hands-on in the homes of the Picture Perfect Puppy team, they’re more than just well-socialized, they’re woven into everyday life from the start.

They seamlessly adapt to both the joyful chaos of busy households and the calm of quiet snuggles. From playtime with kids to evening couch cuddles, our puppies have experienced it all. They’ve tagged along to Target, visited classrooms for show-and-tell, joined shopping trips, and even helped pick up the kids from school.

We believe the most important ingredient in raising a successful puppy is genuine love, the kind of love that builds trust, confidence, and a deep sense of security. That love becomes the foundation that carries them far beyond our homes and into yours.

To prepare them for real life, we intentionally expose each puppy to a wide range of safe, everyday experiences. We stretch them gently, support them fully, and surround them with consistent affection, hugs, kisses, and care that words can’t fully capture.

This is the Picture Perfect difference, raising puppies who are not only beautiful, but confident, adaptable, and deeply loved from the very beginning.

Picture Perfect Puppy (PPP) began as a way for our founder, Sara, to share love and joy with families across the country. Over the last 13 years, that mission has brought smiles, healing, and hope to countless homes—but the story started long before PPP was officially born.

It all began on a small farm in western Kansas when Sara was just 10 years old. She has always had a deep love for three things: people, animals, and Jesus. Even before she could drive, she was helping animals into the world and spreading joy wherever she went.

When PPP officially started, it wasn’t out of a desire for business—it was born in one of the darkest seasons of Sara’s life. She and her young son, Samuel, were walking through a time of great pain and hardship. In desperation, Sara cried out to God for joy, healing, and purpose. God answered that prayer through a litter of puppies—raised with so much love and care that they became walking invitations to hope. People started calling from all over asking if they could join the waitlist. What they didn’t realize was that every call gave Sara a reason to hope again, a reason to plan one more litter—something to look forward to in the midst of heartbreak.

From the very beginning, Sara and Samuel would pray over every litter:

“Jesus, please let just the right puppy go to just the right home at just the right time.”

And they have watched God move mountains to answer that prayer—over and over again.

As time went on, Sara realized the demand for her puppies was growing. Not just because of how cute and well-raised they were, but because people could feel the love behind them. That’s when PPP naturally grew into a sustainable business—one that could support her family and ministry. But make no mistake: PPP was never built out of a need for income. It was built out of a need for healing. A need for joy. A need for the kind of love only Jesus can give.

Today, Sara and her now much larger family have never lost sight of that foundation. PPP remains a joy-spreading, love-sharing ministry—a gift from Jesus Himself in Sara’s darkest years. At its core, PPP is a ministry of love and care, and we’re always looking for new ways to share that love with others.

PPP also financially supports Evidence of Grace (EOG)—the ministry birthed out of Sara and her family’s own testimony. EOG is exactly what it sounds like: a living, breathing display of God’s grace in a hurting world. After walking through more trauma, tragedy, and loss than most people could imagine, Sara made a decision: she would not let anything extinguish the fire of love and light God placed inside her.

That same fire burns today—and it fuels her commitment to walk with others through their own valleys, offering hope, healing, and truth through:

• Inner Healing/Deliverance

• Online and in person ministry 

• Discipleship 

• 1:1 Session

If you ever find yourself curious about faith, longing for freedom Sara would be honored to connect with you. Because for Sara, life really is about “puppies, people, and Jesus.”

Here at Picture Perfect Puppy and Evidence of Grace, we believe what the Bible teaches:

“If we have not love, we are nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2)

And that love is the heartbeat of everything we do.
