Mario and Maria were so helpful, providing pictures and even FaceTime videos of Roxy. When we met other pick up Roxy, Maria was prepared with toys, some food, a bed and even a blanket with Roxy's mom's scent on it. I could tell they cared about their puppies and about the experience of their clients. They were always quick to respond to questions or concerns and it's clear they would be happy to answer questions in the future .
