We couldn’t be happier with our precious Golden from Kimberly/Companion Goldens of the Carolinas! From the moment we brought our little Ruby home, it was clear how much love and care went into raising her. She’s healthy, confident, has adapted easily to our home, and has the best personality! Kimberly was amazing throughout the entire process, keeping us updated with photos, videos, and tips to prepare for our new addition. You can tell they truly care about their dogs and the families they go to. We’re so thankful for this little ball of sunshine!
