It was an amazing pick up for our sweet Max! Patricia did an amazing job communicating with us from the time we inquired about our Max. They even drove half way (5 hours) to deliver him. The transition was smooth! Max is the perfect fit for my husband and I. We couldn’t ask for a better personality of our fur baby boy. We are so in love with him!
