Ms. Rena was so responsive throughout the entire process. From the moment we reached out, she continuously updated us with pictures and videos of our sweet girl Echo. She was very helpful and not once made us feel like we were bothering her with questions. We are so thankful for her 🩷.

From the time I reserved my little girl Shih-Tzu puppy at 6w old Rena sent me pictures and videos of my Bella and the other puppies. It's like I knew my baby before I got to hold Bella the first time. My little Bella is doing so well. I know with absolute certainty that she was well cared for from the time she was born. Rena kept me in the loop when my baby got her shots and vet visits during the first 8w. So many good things I can say about the whole experience. I highly recommend Furever Family and Rena.

Rena was amazing from beginning to end. Theo is an absolute joy and has a wonderful great little personality. He is super playful, loves everyone - especially kids!! Rena was super responsive with my questions prior to me reserving Theo and sent pictures and videos once I had reserved so I was able to track his progress from a very little baby. He is a gorgeous! Thank you Rena!
