Ashton was amazing to work with and we love Hazel so much! She communicated well, was easy to meet to pick up Hazel and sent a goody bag! Hazel has grown to be funny, loving, talkative, and an awesome addition to our home!

Ashton was so amazing to work with! She was always quick to respond and continued to keep me updated and shared many photos prior to picking up my forever fur baby. I drove 10 hours round trip for my pup and Ashton was so helpful and made this process so wonderful. Although it was a long drive as I live a bit farther, I would definitely do it all over again! Thank you Ashton! We love our baby girl.
