    Kelly was absolutely amazing to work with. From the first call with her I was getting updated pictures of our pup multiple times as day! She responded very quickly and was able to answer all of my questions. He was up to date on everything, and she took him to the vet within the three days of contact we had before picking him up which was incredible. They truly know the breed and take such good care of their own dogs and the pups while they are there! He turned out to be everything she said he was going to be in regards to weight and size, along with the fact that there has been no shedding! If I ever get another I will definitely be going through her again!

    My kids always wanted to have a furry member, but we always thought it needed us to go far away (like 6-8 hours drive), and then hassle of the trip. We were overjoyed to find Kelly in GoodDog, only like 30 min crisp trip. We went to see a dog we liked online , but ended up with his brother, who was more docile. Kelly was great throughout the process and even entertained our request to hold onto our dog for a few additional days. She did even sent the puppy with his favorite toys and the snuggles. Thanks to Kelly, we got our furry bundle of happiness.
