We drove all the way from PA to KY to get Finn. It’s hard to believe in January he will be three years old. Teresa was amazing. She provided updates up until I got him. He has been such a joy.

Teresa was amazing! I got regular updates on our pup, including pictures and videos. My father passed recently and my mom needed company in the house. This pup brought her so much joy and getting all the updates made her more excited to bring him home. I would highly recommend using Teresa if you are considering expanding your family with a puppy!
