FAQ's
Where are you located?
We are located in the Upstate of South Carolina near Greenville/Spartanburg!
Can I come visit the puppies?
While we want everyone to be comfortable and confident in who you are working with, we do not allow in person visitation. Each litter of puppies are born and raised inside our home, and it is not safe for us to allow strangers in and out for visiting puppies. This policy is also in place for the health and safety of our mama dogs, puppies, and the other dogs that reside with us. Puppy immune systems are very fragile and we do everything in our power to keep them happy, healthy, and thriving. We provide lots of videos and pictures on social media of how the mama dogs are cared for and the puppies are being raised. We also post weekly pictures of each puppy to keep everyone updated on their progress and growth. We are happy to setup FaceTime or virtual visits by appointment!
Do you have any references?
Yes! We are happy to provide references for both our veterinarian as well as past OlliePups families. You can also read reviews left by some of our puppy owners on Google or our Facebook page!
