We are overjoyed with our experience with Stephanie and are so in love with our new baby Couscous. Stephanie always responded quickly, providing photos and updates every step of the way. Couscous has been a dream at home so far, very comfortable in her crate, very calm and loving, and we know Stephanie is the reason why our puppy has been so successful with this transition. Thank you for everything Stephanie! We are so so so lucky and eternally grateful. Couscous is perfect.
