    Maria stayed in touch and sent me weekly updates about my little girl and sent me pictures of her so I can watch her grow! I’m very happy with how easy the process was to get her and she had paperwork that came with her as well to keep me in the known about which shots she has received! I am very thankful for our new addition for our family!

    Maria is the best. She was very responsive, answered every question we had, and keeps detailed paperwork on her pups. When we met to pick up our puppy, she even gave us a care package with all of our puppies favorite things. It’s clear that our dog came from a very loving home. Thank you, Maria!
