Susan was compassionate, kind and great to deal with. She obviously cares about the animals and that they end up in a loving home and she went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed to take our puppy home. Would definitely recommend!

+6Susan was amazing! She truly cares about the well-being of her pups. She goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and gives the pups the best start to the beginning of their lives. Our new buddy is healthy, happy, and was already familiar with potty pads! 10/10 recommend Happier with Dogs. Thank you for our new family member and best friend 🧡

Susan's early work with my beagle puppy is obvious! She is great about having her nails trimmed and gentle taking treats. She was very good for her first vet visit and travels well in the car. This puppy is off to a great start! And she is beautiful :-)
