+8It went really great! Crystal had very good communication and was always quick to respond. The whole process was very easy, especially picking up the dog. Overall, I had a 100% positive experience and would definitely recommend her!

+5Crystal was wonderful to work with throughout the adoption process of my long-haired Dachshund. She communicated with me every step of the way, making the entire experience easy and enjoyable. She was also incredibly accommodating to my schedule when it came time for Freya to come home. Crystal personally transported Freya to my house, which gave me the opportunity to meet her in person and talk with her about Freya's health, temperament, and what to expect as she grew. One of the things I appreciated most was that Crystal shared countless photos from the day Freya was born until I picked her up at eight weeks old. Having those precious pictures of her early days is something I will always treasure. I couldn't be happier with my experience, and it's clear that Crystal truly loves and cares for the puppies she raises. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a happy, healthy, and well-loved Dachshund.

Crystal was so easy to work with. She was always very responsive. She made the process very easy and you could tell how much she really loved her dogs and the puppies. Our wonderful dog Baer has transitioned well and is fully integrated. Our girl Lylla welcomed him immediately and they have so much fun each day playing.

Communication with Crystal was great from start to finish, she answered every question I had along the way and made sure I felt confident throughout the whole process. The delivery process was easy and well organized: she met the flight nanny to send my puppy off, and I was able to meet the flight nanny at my local airport to pick him up without any issues. My puppy arrived happy, healthy, and adjusted quickly to his new home. He’s in great health and has brought so much joy to our family, we absolutely love him. You can tell Crystal genuinely cares about her dogs and puts in the work to make sure both the puppies and their new families have a great experience. I highly recommend Crystal at Gateway 2 Little Paws to anyone looking for their next puppy!

I got my sweet Polly from Crystal, and I couldn’t be happier! Crystal was incredible throughout—she kept me updated with photos and texts, making me feel so ready. Polly came home practically potty-trained—Crystal suggested a grass patch, and it was perfect. I’ve had Polly for a month now, and she is the best girl ever—well-behaved, full of personality, and just perfect all around. If you want a wonderful pup, Crystal is the best! and i couldn’t recommend her more!
