I'm Nicole T., the breeder behind Emotional Support Babies located in Newport News, VA. I’m a furmom, not a breeder. My two loving dogs became parents, and their puppies are being raised in my home with daily affection, play, and cuddles. Both parents have gentle temperaments, making these pups perfect for emotional support and lifelong companionship.
Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
These puppies weren’t bred for business; they were bred from love. They’re being raised right here in my home, surrounded by daily affection, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Mom and Dad are with them full-time, teaching them the same warmth and trust they’ve always given me. When I realized I could not have children, my furbaby became the life companion and support needed to get me through life.
What makes your program special?
My goal isn’t just to find homes for these puppies; it’s to match them with families who will love them as much as I do. Every pup deserves a safe, happy, and nurturing environment, and I’m committed to making sure each one joins a home where they’ll be cherished for life.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We received little Pablo (Armani) from Nicole, and our experience has been great. Pablo is sweet, well mannered, and lively. He slept through the night in a play pen without a single issue. He also has a new Frenchie “brother” that he has immediately taken to, so he was well socialized on arrival. He’s definitely made himself at home, and we’re extremely happy for that!
Nicole was fantastic to work with, and there were zero response delays. She clearly loves her Frenchies as much as we do. I am very thankful for the opportunity to adopt a companion from her and highly recommend.

We just got our fur baby from Nicole, Cooper, he is the sweetest puppy. We had recently lost our Frenchie (Kobi) at a young age of 6 and we were devastated. He left a whole in our hearts and home. Kobi will never be replaced but Cooper is going to fill that void very well. His personality and loving spirit is amazing. Shows how much love Nicole puts into raising them. Nicole was amazing to work with. She shared pictures and videos of our Cooper until he was ready to come home. Which she made as easy as possible on us. Nicole also went above and beyond putting together a little going home bag for him. With some food, treats, toys and some personalized shirts and bandana for Cooper. It has been an easy amazing experience working with Nicole and I would recommend anyone looking for a great experience and a great puppy to contact her.
