Monica was fantastic for us! She responded fairly quick and sent photos and updates up until we were able to pick up our little guy! She was super helpful and flexible for picking him up as well! We have wierd work schedules but she was able to find a time for us to come get him that worked out well for everyone! We absolutely love our pup! We appreciate that she was able to start potty training him prior to us getting him which has made fully training him so much easier for us!

Alsop’s Precious Paws was wonderful to work with. I love my pup! And I can tell she was well loved and well cared for before she joined her furever family. They are the best in my book.

Monica was very accommodating. The puppy was shipped via American Airlines and arrived safely. It's obvious she takes great care of her dogs and it shows. I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family.
