About Us

We, Richard and Wanita Martin, the dedicated and passionate breeders behind Paw Prints on My Heart, have been wholeheartedly committed to raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppies for over 10 years. Nestled on a beautiful 60-acre property in the picturesque countryside, our family-run facility is the perfect environment for puppies to grow and flourish.

Each one of our puppies gets one-on-one attention daily to help them grow to be great members of society and to bring out the best of their personalities. Our puppies are all gently acclimated to crate time, they get to play with a variety of toys, and are introduced to many different surfaces, as well as multiple sounds, sights, and scents! Each puppy gets bathed & blow-dried every other week, to get them used to all the things that will be part of their future as an adult.

The journey of Paw Prints On My Heart was born from both of us longing for our own dog as young children. As adults, owning our own dogs sparked a newfound passion for breeding and providing others with the joy of bringing home a happy, healthy puppy. Over the years, we have worked with multiple veterinarians & experienced breeders to carefully select healthy canines from specific breeds to ensure that we are able to offer you the healthiest puppy possible.

Our mission has always been to help families find their perfect canine companion and connect with all the adoptive families as they bring home their new best friend. At the heart of Paw Prints On My Heart is a steadfast commitment to ethical breeding practices and the well-being of every dog and puppy under our care. We prioritize genetic health by conducting thorough screenings and maintaining detailed records of every puppy's lineage. We also work closely with local veterinarians to ensure each puppy receives proper vaccinations, health check-ups, deworming, and socialization.

In addition to providing the best care possible, we also focus on education and offer resources to help new owners successfully integrate their furry friends into their homes. Our dedication to you and your new family member is unwavering, and the love we have for our dogs and puppies has helped many families create a lifetime of fond memories with their four-legged companions.
