Raven was so patient and understanding. She provided excellent knowledge when asked questions about our new puppy and gave me plenty of advice. For my puppy’s first vet visit I was told that my pup had been well taken care of ,I would definitely recommend you give her a try.

Raven was wonderful to work with.
She frequently sent pictures and videos to keep us updated until we picked up our little girl.
We have had her for two weeks now and wouldn’t know what to do without her. She is so precious and has such a wonderful personality. She has brought so much joy to our family. Thank you Raven for loving on our precious girl until we were able to pick her up💗

I was very pleased with the whole process of getting my new baby. Raven replied to my messages in a timely manner. She was honest and knowledgeable about her puppies. Every thing went smoothly with the purchase and I’m very happy with my sweet puppy. He was clean, happy, playful, and healthy. Couldn’t ask for anything better.
