    We feel so blessed to have connected with Melissa and through her, met our dream pup Bruno! Throughout the entire adoption process, Melissa showed us above and beyond support in her responsiveness, answers to our questions, and proactive information about our pup. She even went as far as to watch our Bruno for an extra month when we had to complete some travel plans. I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and am blown away by how well cared for and trained Melissa's pups are. Bruno is so much more than a cute face - he came to us well-prepared for his new home, including potty trained, very calm and well behaved, and knowing basic commands. I've never known a puppy to sleep through his first night with no accidents!!! I am so beyond impressed by Melissa. What she's doing with Belo Star Corgis is so wonderful - taking amazing care of these pups, raising them to be A++ well-trained dogs, and finding them their perfect fur-ever homes. Melissa, you are a wonderful human being - thank you for bringing us our Bruno!!!
