    Mia was great to work with. She met me halfway to pick up/drop off my new pup. We love our new dog!

    We found Mia and fell in love with Lily. She is the sweetest dog and very feisty. LOL We adopted her because my wife really likes the King Charles breed and I have never really been a fan of the spaniel breeds. Lily has definitely grown on me. We recently adopted a Boxer puppy, my fav and they get along extraordinarily well. Lily seems to rule the roost for now but Dempsey the boxer is growing and a faster pace. I have a feeling Lily will still be in charge. Mia was wonderful to work with. We literally found Mia on a Saturday night and asked if Lily was still available and Sunday morning she responded that she was. I asked if Mia would be able to meet us partially in the mid-way between where we both live and she was more than happy too do so, even met her that day! I took Lily to the vet on Tuesday for her second round of vaccines and she had some ear wax buildup and I had to pay a large amount of money to take care of her ears. I mentioned this to Mia and she was more than happy to split the cost with me which I didn't even ask of her. I would have to say that Mia raised a wonderful little King Charles and took very good care of her. She is a wonderful person to work with and made the transaction so simple and easy and provided me with all sorts of information for Lily. Adopt with confidence with Mia. Thank you !!
