    Denise was wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and always with quick responses. My puppy was well taken care of and is becoming a great little companion already.

    Denise was wonderful to work with! We had just lost our 10 year Aussie, Jax, to Cancer. We were wanting to find a companion for our other 12 year old Aussie. Denise was able to make sure that we were a good fit for a puppy. She had great communication skills and answered all of my questions. Our dog Daisy just celebrated her first birthday and we are so happy to have her in our family. Thank you Denise!
