The process to getting our dog, Remy, was so easy. Risa was super responsive and always gave updates about Remy’s health and doctor’s visits. When we met she gave us everything we needed for Remy and I am so thankful for the welcome Kit. She really cares about her pups and using GoodDog made me so confident about bringing Remy home.

Lujan Ranch was great to work with! Risa & Nancy are great communicators and it was a pleasure working with them! We renamed Remy to Koa. Koa in Hawaiian means brave/fearless and it suits him well! Thank you Lujan Ranch!
