Verified owner · June 2025
Mary was great with communication as well as being very patient with me. I appreciated her time and effort and you could see it in our puppy. He’s very well behaved, and really hasn’t had too much trouble with him adjusting to us as well as potty training him. I would recommend her and have actually recommended her to people whenever they ask where I got my puppy.
