TJ was wonderful to work with. She made the process very easy. She exceeded all my expectations working with her and picking up our new precious furbaby 🐾. I highly recommend her if you are looking well cared for and healthy pup. She was very helpful when we picked Winston up , sharing tips on caring for him and also gave a wonderful bag of goodies. The crate and potty training was a huge help. Winston did not have any accidents from day one in his crate. We are in love with our smart and playful pup. She was a blessing to work with.
