Families in Wayne County and throughout the surrounding region know how much a well-chosen puppy can mean to a household. Whether you are a military family stationed at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base looking for a loyal companion to make a new house feel like home, or a longtime area resident finally ready to bring a puppy into the family, finding the right breeder is the most important step you will take. Healthy Pups has been placing happy, healthy puppies with loving families across North Carolina and beyond for more than 40 years.
What makes the difference is not just the wide selection of designer breeds available. It is the decades of experience, the purpose-built facility, the transparent process, and the genuine commitment to the health of every puppy before they ever go home with a new family.
The landscape of puppy buying has changed significantly in the internet era. Brokers and online resellers have made it easier than ever to find a puppy listing, but significantly harder to know whether the animal you are purchasing was raised with care, health-screened appropriately, or even exists at all. We distinguish ourselves through raising puppies the right way.
Every puppy at Healthy Pups is bred and raised on-site at their own facility. There are no third-party breeders feeding into their inventory, no broker arrangements, and no shared revenue structures that drive prices up while accountability disappears. Because Healthy Pups raises their own puppies, they can speak knowledgeably about every animal they sell, from its temperament and parentage to its health history and vaccination record.
Here is a closer look at what consistently sets Healthy Pups apart:

One of the most compelling reasons families travel to Healthy Pups from Goldsboro and across eastern NC is the exceptional variety of breeds on offer. Designer breeds, thoughtfully developed crosses that bring together the best characteristics of two established parent breeds, are a core specialty. These dogs are celebrated for their wonderful personalities, their adaptability to a range of living situations, and in many cases their reduced shedding compared to single-breed alternatives.
Current and upcoming breeds at Healthy Pups include:
This selection of Goldsboro designer dogs spans a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and coat types, giving buyers genuine flexibility in finding the right match. A Cavapoo brings a gentle, affectionate nature well-suited to families with children. A Schnoodle offers intelligence and low-shedding appeal for households that want an active companion. A Shichon Teddy Bear delivers an irresistible look with a personality to match.
For military families and others whose living situations may change over time, smaller designer breeds can also be a practical choice. Many of the breeds Healthy Pups raises adapt well to apartment or base housing living while still offering the full range of companionship a family or individual could want from a dog.

For families driving from the Goldsboro area or arranging delivery from Wayne County, understanding what the buying process looks like helps set expectations and makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Healthy Pups has refined their approach over decades into something that is both structured and genuinely personal.
Start at HealthyPups.com, where all available puppies are listed with individual videos and prices. Watch the videos with the sound on to get the most complete picture of each puppy. Sizes can be deceptive in video, so the team encourages buyers to keep this in mind, as one gallon of milk weighs 8.6 pounds, and many of these puppies are considerably smaller than they appear on screen.
Before making any commitment or planning the drive, Healthy Pups welcomes buyers to schedule a live video call via Facetime, Google Duo, or Facebook Messenger. This gives you a real-time look at the puppy you are interested in, the chance to ask questions directly, and a much better sense of size and temperament than any still photo or prerecorded video can provide.
A $200 PayPal deposit reserves your chosen puppy until you are ready to pick them up. This secures your selection without requiring full payment before your visit. The deposit process is designed to be simple, secure, and free of the kind of pressure tactics that less reputable sellers sometimes employ.
Healthy Pups is open six days per week, including most Saturday and Sunday mornings, by appointment. Calling ahead to identify your puppy of interest allows the team to have the puppy bathed and ready when you arrive, making your visit more efficient and more enjoyable. The facility is located at 3707 White Plains Road, Roaring River, NC 28669.
For families who prefer delivery, Healthy Pups can refer buyers to trusted courier services. Ground-to-door delivery is available across the Eastern United States at approximately $1.00 per mile both ways. Flight nanny air services are also available for buyers who prefer to meet a nanny at their nearest major airport or fly into Charlotte Douglas International to pick up their puppy. All fees for couriers and flight nannies are paid directly to those services, not to Healthy Pups.
Pet ownership is one of the most effective ways military families create a sense of stability and continuity through the transitions that come with service life. A well-bred, healthy companion dog can offer comfort to children during moves, provide companionship for spouses during deployments, and bring a genuine sense of warmth to a new home in an unfamiliar place.
Healthy Pups understands the particular circumstances of military families and is happy to talk through which breeds might be the best fit for your household and living situation.
Roaring River is located in Wilkes County in the western Piedmont region of the state. From the Goldsboro area, most buyers find the drive runs approximately two and a half to three hours depending on their exact starting point and route. For families committed to finding a healthy, well-bred puppy from a breeder with a genuine track record, the trip is consistently described as worthwhile.
Yes. Video chat appointments are available before any commitment is made, and in-person visits are welcome by appointment. The team strongly recommends scheduling a video call first to confirm the puppy is the right fit before making the drive. Calling ahead for in-person visits ensures your puppy will be ready and waiting when you arrive.
Healthy Pups can refer buyers to ground courier services that deliver across the Eastern United States at approximately $1.00 per mile both ways. Flight nanny services are also available. Contact the team directly at (336) 957-3609 for current referrals and delivery information.
Yes. Healthy Pups vaccinates puppies on a protocol designed around the puppy's weight and developmental stage, and health information travels home with every puppy. The team is also available to answer questions after the purchase if any concerns arise.
Every listing on the Healthy Pups website is updated immediately after each sale. If a puppy is shown with a price, it is available. The team makes this a firm priority because they do not want any buyer to invest emotionally in a puppy that is no longer accessible.
Yes. Buyers who place a deposit are added to the notification list and contacted when new litters matching their preferences are posted online. If you have a specific breed in mind that is not currently available, reaching out directly is the best way to stay informed.
Wayne County families and those throughout eastern and central North Carolina have a trusted, established breeder within reach. Healthy Pups brings more than four decades of experience, a state-of-the-art kennel facility, and an unwavering commitment to placing healthy, well-raised puppies with families who will love them.

Families in Halifax County and across northeastern North Carolina have been making the drive to Healthy Pups for years, and it is easy to understand why. We have been delivering healthy puppies to new homes for more than 40 years from our facility in Roaring River, NC.
Whether you are looking for a cuddly companion for a young family, a loyal dog for a single-person household, or a small designer breed that fits comfortably into a busy lifestyle, Healthy Pups raises a wide variety of breeds to suit different personalities, living situations, and preferences. For families in northern NC and the Halifax County region, the drive to pick up a puppy raised with genuine care is more than worth it.
The breeder you choose matters as much as the puppy you choose. The pet industry has no shortage of brokers, online sellers, and middlemen who mark up prices while offering little accountability for the health and wellbeing of the dogs they sell. Healthy Pups operates differently.
Unlike brokers who purchase puppies from third-party breeders and pass along the cost, Healthy Pups raises every puppy in their own facility. This means no markup to cover a breeder's cut, and it means the team knows each puppy personally from birth. The facility itself represents a significant investment in raising puppies the right way, in a professional, purpose-built kennel environment designed to support their health and development.
Here is what sets Healthy Pups apart:
For families in the Roanoke Rapids area who have been searching online for trustworthy Halifax County puppies, Healthy Pups offers the kind of track record that is difficult to find anywhere else.
One of the things that draws so many northern NC puppy buyers to Healthy Pups is the remarkable variety of breeds available. Designer breeds, which combine the best traits of two well-established parent breeds, are a specialty at Healthy Pups. These crosses are prized for their wonderful personalities, lower shedding tendencies in many cases, and the genetic diversity that comes with thoughtful crossbreeding.
Current and upcoming breeds at Healthy Pups include:
This is a broad selection of Roanoke Rapids designer dogs and small breeds, giving buyers real options to find a puppy that matches their lifestyle. Whether you are drawn to a Maltipoo for its affectionate temperament, a Goldendoodle for its playful energy, or a Shichon Teddy Bear for its teddy-bear good looks, the variety at Healthy Pups means you are likely to find exactly the right match.
Availability changes frequently as litters are born and puppies are placed. The website is updated immediately after each sale, so every puppy listed is genuinely available at the time you are browsing.

Healthy Pups can refer buyers to courier services that offer ground-to-door delivery across the Eastern United States, or connect you with flight nanny services for air transport. Ground courier rates start at approximately $1.00 per mile both ways, and all payments to couriers and nannies are made directly to them, not to Healthy Pups.

Healthy Pups takes the health of their puppies seriously, which is why the facility operates under strict quarantine. When you visit in person, you will be asked to take a few basic precautions to protect the puppies from outside exposure. This is not inconvenient; it is simply evidence of how seriously the team takes their responsibility to the animals in their care.
If you call ahead and identify which puppy you would like to meet, the team can have that puppy ready for you when you arrive. Walk-in visits without a heads-up are welcome, but you may need to wait while the puppy is prepared.

Healthy Pups is a family-owned nursery that has been raising puppies since 1982. Located in the foothills of North Carolina, we are the breeder, which means you can visit our facility, see where your puppy was born, learn its true genetics and health history, and know with confidence that you're buying a puppy of known origin. For families in the Triangle region looking for designer dogs and small breed companions, our nursery offers a level of transparency, experience, and care that is difficult to find anywhere else.
Choosing where to get your puppy is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a pet owner. Many of the puppies advertised online come from brokers who purchase animals from unknown sources and resell them at a markup, often with vague health information and warranties that are designed to protect the seller rather than you. At Healthy Pups, we distinguish ourselves through raising puppies the right way.
Our nursery has been open on the same property since 1982. That's more than four decades of hands-on experience with the same group of breeds, giving us a depth of knowledge that even most veterinary professionals don't have the opportunity to develop. This experience allows us to provide preventative ownership education that can help lower long-term ownership costs, reduce initial vet bills, and increase the life expectancy of your puppy.
One of the biggest risks when purchasing a puppy is the possibility of bringing home a sick animal. Emergency vet visits for puppy viruses are expensive and heartbreaking. To protect our puppies and our buyers, we raise every puppy in a strict quarantine environment within our state-of-the-art nursery facility. Our quarantine protocol means:
This standard of care is why we are able to guarantee no pre-purchase viral exposures and no unexpected health issues at your initial veterinary exam. Simply put, our puppies are less likely to arrive at your home with pre-existing health problems than puppies raised in less controlled environments.
When you buy from Healthy Pups, you are buying directly from the family that raised your puppy. We can share the actual history and genetics of every animal because we know them firsthand. This is something that brokers, pet store clubs, and online resellers simply cannot offer, regardless of how professional their websites may look. You can visit our facility, meet the puppies in person or through video chat, and see for yourself the environment where your future companion was born and raised.

We specialize in small breed and designer mix puppies in the 5 to 25 pound range, which are ideal for indoor living, apartment life, and families looking for a manageable companion.

Some of our most popular breeds among families searching for Orange County puppies and university town pets include:
Availability changes regularly as puppies are born and sold. All puppies currently shown on our website are available, and we update the site immediately after each sale so you never fall in love with a puppy that has already found a home. Prices are posted under each puppy's video, and our prices are competitive because we raise our own puppies in our own facility rather than sharing profits with outside breeders.

Many families in the area looking for Chapel Hill puppy breeders are specifically interested in designer breed mixes, and for good reason. Over our decades of experience, we've consistently found that dogs bred with diverse genetics are healthier, smarter, and more affectionate than many purebred dogs produced through line breeding.
Line breeding, which is the practice of mating closely related dogs to maintain breed appearance, can intensify genetic information for defects and negatively impact mental health. Properly bred mixes benefit from what is often called hybrid vigor, a concept rooted in the same genetic principles that apply to all living creatures. The result is puppies that are typically more physically resilient, mentally balanced, and less prone to the hereditary health complications that affect many purebred lines.
For families, students, and professionals in the Triangle area seeking a healthy, low-maintenance companion, a well-bred designer mix offers an excellent balance of:
Our nursery is located in Roaring River, North Carolina, and we make it easy for families throughout the state to bring home a Healthy Pup. There are several convenient options for picking up your new companion.
We are open six days per week for puppy viewings and pickups. We recommend calling ahead to let us know which puppies interest you so we can have them bathed and ready for your visit. If you can view puppies through video chat before your trip and select your favorite, we can complete the wellness exam and paperwork in advance so your pickup is quick and smooth.
Not ready to make the drive? We offer FaceTime, Google Duo, and Facebook Messenger video chats so you can see and interact with available puppies from the comfort of your home. Many of our buyers in the Triangle area use video chat to choose their puppy before scheduling a pickup day, which saves time and makes the experience less stressful for both you and the puppy.
For families who prefer not to drive, we can refer you to reliable courier services that deliver puppies throughout the eastern United States. Options include ground-to-door delivery and flight nanny services through Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Delivery fees are paid directly to the courier and are separate from the puppy purchase price.
Once you've found the right puppy, securing it is simple. You can reserve any available puppy with a deposit, and you won't pay anything else until you pick up your pet. This means you can take your time coordinating schedules, preparing your home, and getting everything ready for your new arrival without worrying about losing the puppy you've chosen.
All puppies on our website with posted prices are available to the public. If a listing shows a deposit pending, it means a previous deposit holder is currently making their selection. We maintain complete transparency throughout this process because we believe every buyer deserves honesty from the very first interaction.
Every puppy from Healthy Pups comes with an honest health warranty. Unlike many competitors whose warranties require monthly insurance payments, expensive treat subscriptions, or other ongoing costs to remain valid, our warranty is straightforward and designed to protect you. We guarantee no pre-purchase viral exposures and no unexpected health issues at your initial veterinary exam.
Beyond the warranty, what truly sets us apart is the ongoing support we provide to every family. Our 24-hour help line means you always have someone to call when questions or concerns arise. Our preventative ownership education covers topics that can directly impact your puppy's long-term health, including guidance on proper nutrition, avoiding harmful pet products, and understanding the care choices that help prevent the premature onset of diseases that are often misdiagnosed as genetic issues.
For families who want additional support as their new puppy adjusts to home life, we offer a professional puppy training program. Our trainer focuses on foundational obedience skills including sit, come, lay down, yes, and no commands. The program also incorporates crate training, harness and leash walking, car ride acclimation, and bathing comfort. Training is available at $500 per week, and our trainer will begin using the name you choose for your puppy so your pet starts recognizing it right away. Older puppies and doodle mixes tend to respond especially well to this program.
All puppies displayed on our website are available for purchase. We update the site immediately after each sale to ensure accuracy. Prices are listed under each puppy's video, and you can call us to ask about upcoming litters or specific breeds you're interested in.
Absolutely. We welcome visitors six days per week and encourage families to come see our facility and meet available puppies in person. We do ask that you call ahead so we can prepare the puppies you're interested in. Because we raise our puppies in quarantine, visitors may be asked to wear protective clothing and be disinfected before handling puppies, which protects both our animals and yours.
We offer multiple options for getting your puppy home safely. Video chat allows you to select your puppy remotely, and we can connect you with trusted courier services that offer ground delivery or flight nanny services through Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Many families throughout North Carolina and beyond use these services to bring home a Healthy Pup without making the trip themselves.
We specialize in small breed and designer mix puppies in the 5 to 25 pound range. Popular breeds include Maltipoos, Morkiepoos, Poogles, Teddy Bears, Shorkies, Schnoodles, Malshis, Yorkiepoos, Airedoodles, Frenchtons, and Puggles. Availability varies, so checking our website or calling us directly is the best way to see what's currently available.
Yes. Every puppy that goes home from our nursery has received at least two Nobivac vaccines. Puppies that remain in our care longer may receive additional vaccines as they become due. We follow a careful vaccination protocol designed to maximize protection while minimizing the risk of adverse reactions, particularly in smaller puppies.

Healthy Pups is a family-owned nursery that has been in continuous operation on the same property since 1982. We are the breeder. That means every puppy on our website was born and raised in our facility, and we can share its true genetics, health history, and temperament with complete transparency.
You'll find no shortage of puppy breeders online. But a closer look often reveals that many of those sellers are brokers who purchase puppies from unknown sources and resell them with inflated prices, vague health information, and warranties full of fine print. Healthy Pups operates on a fundamentally different model. We distinguish ourselves through raising puppies the right way.
We raise every puppy we sell. When you visit our facility or connect with us through video chat, you can see firsthand where your puppy was born, how it was cared for, and the environment it grew up in. This is something that no broker, online club, or pet store franchise can genuinely offer. We don't rely on fabricated histories or ambiguous descriptions.
Four Decades of Hands-On Experience
Our nursery has been open since 1982, giving us more than 40 years of hands-on experience with the same group of small breeds. That kind of continuity produces a depth of practical knowledge that is extremely rare in the puppy industry. We've learned through thousands of puppy placements what works and what doesn't, what new owners need to know, and how preventative ownership education can lower long-term costs while helping puppies live longer, healthier lives.
The most common reason puppies end up at the emergency vet is exposure to viruses before their vaccination schedule is complete. To prevent this, we raise every puppy in a strict quarantine environment within our state-of-the-art facility. Our quarantine protocol includes:
Because of this standard of care, we guarantee no pre-purchase viral exposures and no unexpected health issues at your puppy's initial veterinary exam. Puppies raised in our quarantine nursery are significantly less likely to arrive at your home with the kind of hidden health problems that lead to heartbreak and expensive vet bills.

One of the reasons our designer breed mixes are so popular among families looking for central NC breeders is the genetic advantage they carry. Over our decades of experience, we've consistently observed that puppies bred with diverse genetics are healthier, more intelligent, and more affectionate than many purebred dogs produced through line breeding.
Line breeding, the practice of mating closely related dogs to maintain specific physical traits, often intensifies genetic predispositions for defects while negatively affecting mental health and temperament. Properly bred mixes benefit from a principle commonly known as hybrid vigor, which results in puppies that tend to be more physically resilient and less prone to the hereditary complications that frequently affect purebred lines.
When you choose a designer breed puppy from Healthy Pups, you're getting a companion that offers:

If you've already chosen your puppy through video chat, we can complete the wellness exam and paperwork in advance to make your pickup as quick and easy as possible.
Visitors should be prepared for our quarantine procedures. Because we protect our puppies from outside exposure, you may be asked to wear protective clothing and be disinfected before handling puppies. This process protects both our animals and yours, and it's one of the reasons our buyers rarely experience the health surprises that are so common with puppies from less controlled environments.
If you'd prefer to see available puppies before making the drive, we offer FaceTime, Google Duo, and Facebook Messenger video chats. This is a popular option for families in the Alamance County area who want to narrow down their choices before visiting in person. Video chat lets you see the puppies up close, observe their personalities, and make a more informed decision from the comfort of your own home.
For families who prefer to have their puppy delivered, we can connect you with trusted courier services that serve the eastern United States. Options include ground-to-door delivery and flight nanny services through Charlotte Douglas International Airport. All delivery fees are paid directly to the courier service and are separate from the puppy purchase price.
Once you've found the right puppy, reserving it is straightforward. You can secure any available puppy with a deposit, and you won't owe anything additional until you come to pick up your pet. This gives you the flexibility to prepare your home, coordinate your schedule, and get ready for your new arrival without pressure.
Every puppy listed on our website with a posted price is available to the public. If a listing shows a deposit pending, it means a prior deposit holder is currently making their selection. We believe in complete transparency throughout the buying process, from the moment you first browse our available puppies to the day you bring your new companion home.
Every Healthy Pup comes with an honest Health warranty. We guarantee no pre-purchase viral exposures and no unexpected health issues at your initial veterinary exam. If a problem is found, you may return the puppy to us for an exchange rather than paying a vet to correct an issue that was not your fault.
What makes our warranty different from what you'll find with most competitors is what it doesn't require. There are no monthly insurance payments, no mandatory subscriptions to expensive doggie treats, and no fine print designed to void your coverage. Our warranty is built to protect you, not to create an ongoing revenue stream for us.
For families who want a head start on obedience and adjustment, we offer a professional puppy training program at $500 per week. Our trainer works on foundational skills that make the transition to home life smoother for both you and your puppy. The program covers:

If driving isn't convenient, you can use video chat to choose your puppy and arrange delivery through one of our trusted courier services.
Every puppy that leaves our nursery has received at least two Nobivac vaccines. Puppies that stay with us longer receive additional vaccinations as they become due. Our vaccination protocol is designed to maximize immune protection while minimizing the risk of reactions, particularly for smaller breeds.
Yes. Many of our designer breed mixes, particularly those with poodle heritage, are considered hypoallergenic and are low-shedding. We can advise you on which breeds and mixes are the best fit if allergies are a concern for your household.
Most of our puppies fall in the 5 to 25 pound adult weight range. The best way to predict your puppy's adult size is to look at the size of its parents rather than the size of the puppy at the time of purchase. We can help you understand the expected size range for any puppy you're considering.

Socialization from birth: Puppies should be raised in home environments with exposure to household sounds, gentle handling, and early neurological stimulation. This early foundation significantly impacts future behavior and confidence.
Veterinary care: All puppies should receive age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and thorough veterinary examinations before joining their new families.
Transparent practices: Responsible breeders welcome questions, provide complete health documentation, and often allow families to meet at least the mother dog. They're invested in finding the right homes, not just making sales.
