    Everything was amazing. We adopted two brothers who are an incredible addition to our family. They are both beautiful pups. It was wonderful to work with such a caring family. They were super accommodating and met us half way between Florida and Georgia. We also received weekly updates as the pups grew. We appreciate this experience and cannot recommend her enough!
