We're Official!

Forest City Standards is now Forest City Standards LLC!

This step has been in the works for quite some time, and we’re excited to officially share it. Becoming an LLC allows us to operate with clearer structure, stronger organization, and better long-term support for our puppy families and program.

With that change comes a number of behind-the-scenes updates—new banking, updated accounting processes, and more formal systems for applications, waitlists, deposits, contracts, and puppy records. As someone who works in finance, setting up the framework is the easy part. The real challenge has been finding an online breeder-friendly system that is both secure and truly user-friendly for our families.

You may notice small changes over the coming weeks: Updated application links, different payment options, new portals for contracts or invoices, and other adjustments as we refine the process. None of these changes affect our breeding philosophy or our commitment to thoughtful placement and lifelong support—they simply reflect our effort to run things in a more professional, organized, and secure way.

Our goals are straightforward:

• Make the process easier to understand and navigate

• Protect your personal and payment information

• Keep clear, accurate records for every puppy and family

• Maintain the integrity and transparency that our program is built on

We truly appreciate your patience while we test, adjust, and improve these systems. If something feels confusing or inconvenient, we genuinely want to know. Your feedback helps us shape a process that works smoothly not only for us, but for every family who joins the Forest City Standards community.

We’re grateful for the trust you place in us and look forward to continuing to grow thoughtfully, responsibly, and with you alongside us.
