We adopted our Cavapoo, Blossom, from Kimberly and couldn’t be happier! Blossom came to us well socialized, healthy, and full of personality. She’s been such a joy to add to our family. Kimberly was responsive and kind throughout the process. She answered all of our questions and even met us halfway to make pickup easier. It’s clear she truly cares for her dogs and wants to ensure they go to loving homes. We recommend Kimberly to anyone considering adopting a puppy!

Kimberly is absolutely amazing. She was responsive to all of our questions regarding our puppy, Patches prior to our adoption. Our pick up was flawless, and it was wonderful meeting the person who made it possible for us to adopt our precious cavipoo. I might add that even after we took Patches home, she was available to help us with questions. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone who is considering adopting a cavipoo. Now we will stay in touch with Kimberly with puppy updates!
