Melissa was very responsive and extremely helpful in the whole process. Love my new puppy “Daisy!” Had her final shots and vet was impressed with her health. She is a bundle of energy and still working on potty training. But i am extremely happy with my decision to go with this purchase from Melissa. Thank you Melissa! Kim

Words cannot express how thrilled I am with my experience working with Melissa and welcoming our newest family member!
From the initial stages, throughout the entire process, right up to the moment of pick-up, I felt truly involved every step of the way. Now that I have my fur baby, I couldn’t have asked for a better companion—it feels like it was truly meant to be!
Melissa was incredibly responsive, helpful, and, above all, kind throughout the journey. I highly recommend her and will undoubtedly be recommending her to friends.
