We have had such a great experience getting our Rosie (formerly Elena) from Kara. As soon as I reached out to Kara she offered to FaceTime so we could see Rosie. She sent updated photos/videos so we could watch her grow. Kara arranged transportation to Texas and it went so smoothly!! The sweet lady that brought her to us sent videos multiple times while she was bringing her to us. Rosie is such a sweet, smart, well adjusted puppy, we love her so much. We couldn’t be happier!!

I had such a great experience working with Kara! She was responsive and easily answered all of my questions. She also sent updated photos so I could watch my pup Fynn (previously Damon) grow which was so appreciated! I chose to fly out and the entire pick up process was smooth. I’ve had him home for a week and you can already tell how well raised he is. Such a sweet, loving boy and I could not be happier to have him as part of my family!
