Sheila was great. Always responded and really knows about the breed. She was prompt when I picked him up and gave me food, dog bowl and all my paperwork. We are still communicating and it’s great!!!!

+4After losing both of our fur babies within a year of each other, we were looking for that missing piece to our family. I reached out to Sheila and she responded within minutes. She sent pictures and was willing to answer any questions I asked. We fell in love with our fur baby Hugo! She was willing to meet us at a meeting point to pick up our fur baby. He is currently 16 weeks and doing amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

+6Ms. Sheila was so responsive and great during the whole process of bringing my puppy home. With me being Active Duty, she accommodated me and worked very well with me as I was unable to pick up Willow right away. Ms. Sheila continued to send me pictures and updates of my puppy up until she came home. Willow is in good health and just as loving as can be. I appreciate the Adams Acres Cattle Dog for matching me with my best friend
