We keep our mothers and infant puppies in our nursery from the later stages of pregnancy until the litter is ready to transition to the main kennel. The nursery is prepared to ensure every need of our mothers and puppies is met, including all required immunizations to support a happy, healthy life. The mothers and puppies are kept under close supervision. The nursery is temperature regulated, regularly cleaned, and has many windows to provide a sunny atmosphere. If you would like to meet our puppies, please call and schedule an appointment (visiting hours by appointment only.)

Letter to owner, Terry Smith, from Secretary of Agriculture. Russel Redding was in recognition of Terry's support of Act 18. Terry actively lobbied state senators and assemblymen urging the passage of the act. This amendment to the Pennsylvania Dog Law statutes provides for the following:

• modernizing and streamlining the dog licensing process

• addresses the insolvency of Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement allowing for improved oversight of PA kennels and dangerous dogs

• Stiffer penalties for operators of illegal kennels and other dog law violators

• strengthens quarantine and pre-transport for imported dogs

• improve public safety by modernizing and simplifying dangerous dog determinations

In addition, Willow Spring Kennels was the only common wealth kennel among thousands listed on the Department of Agriculture website showing organizations in support of Act 18. This included such organizations as The Humane Society, The PA Society of The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, The PA State Police, The PA Farm Bureau, United Against Puppy Mills, and The Dog Law Advisory Board
