Our experience with Katelyn was amazing! She was quick to respond to any messages I have about my new puppy. As the date got closer to pickup my puppy we had a good meeting place. Our transaction went smoothly. What surprised us was the sweet care package she sent home with us.
We truly love our puppy, Ruby Mabel!
We truly enjoy our experience working with Katelyn and grateful to have found Gooddog.com to find our puppy.
