Terri V.
Verified owner · Nov. 2023
I have always gotten puppies/dogs from an individual who could no longer care for their pet or from a shelter. Getting my puppy from MJ was such a pleasant experience. She kept in touch with me with updates and she was able to hold on to Bella while we were finishing some updates on our home. When we met at the airport, there was an instant connection, she is truly a wonderful person and absolutely loves what she does!
