A flight nanny, cabin only
Your puppy travels on someone’s lap, not in the hold, and is handed to you past security at baggage claim. Almost every Indiana family goes this way.

Corgi puppies for sale
in Indiana.
Our puppies are raised in Casa Grande, Arizona, and reach Indiana by air in a single morning. Every puppy is $850, with travel quoted separately once one is reserved.
The honest answer
Why Indiana is a flight,
not a drive.
Twenty-six hours. That is the drive from our door to Indianapolis, and it is not a serious proposition for a puppy who was born nine weeks ago. The nonstop out of Phoenix is about three and a half hours, which means your puppy wakes up here and is home with you by the afternoon.
Indianapolis handles most of the state comfortably. The northwest corner leans towards Chicago and the Ohio River counties sometimes find Louisville or Cincinnati easier. None of those is the wrong answer, they are simply a different drive once you have your puppy.

Your options
Three ways a puppy
reaches Indiana.
A driver, over two or three days
Ground transport is slower but it is a door-to-door service with updates as they go. It suits a family who would rather not do an airport at all.
Or you fly in to us
A few families make a weekend of it, fly into Phoenix, meet the puppy here and fly home together with them in the cabin. It is the most contact you can have with the whole process.
Worth knowing
What catches
Indiana families out?
The clocks, more often than the weather. Most of Indiana keeps Eastern time, but the corner around Gary and the corner around Evansville are on Central. An hour misread at the booking stage turns into an hour standing in the wrong terminal, so we put the arrival time in your local time, in writing, before anyone books anything.
Winter is the other one. Sunset before five and ice on I-65 make a late landing a poor idea, so from December we aim for a daylight arrival and will happily move a date to get one.
Summer trouble is at our end, not yours. Phoenix in July decides the departure slot, which is why these flights leave early.
What we ask
What we ask
of Indiana families.
Tell us the town, the rough window you are aiming for, and what the household looks like on an ordinary Tuesday. A $300 holding deposit reserves a puppy once we agree on the match, and it comes off the $850.
Everything about the journey gets decided after that, because the right answer in February is not the right answer in August.
Settling in
What happens once
you get them home?
Your puppy will have had an early start and a few hours in the air, so expect a quiet first evening. Offer water as soon as you are in the car and food once you are home, not in the terminal. Keep them on the same food for a week or two before you change anything.
A crate in a corner of a room where people are is better than a perfect setup in a quiet spare room. They have just left their littermates and the noise of a household is reassuring, not stressful.
Indiana families reach us from Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend, Carmel, Fishers, Bloomington, Lafayette, Muncie and the smaller towns along I-65 and I-69.

Before you inquire
Read the travel page first
Indiana is a flight, so the journey is the part worth understanding before you fall for a particular puppy. After that, see who is actually here.
