+6Joy cared so much about finding her pups good homes. She reached out to have a conversation to get to know me. She offered so much information about the puppy in regards to size, temperament, and habits. We met at an agreed upon location for the transfer. Joy provided me with tips for feeding and training before heading home. It’s been comforting to know that I am able to reach out with my concerns and questions since bringing my puppy home!
