Sara was awesome, I had many questions from start to finish and she answered all of them in a timely manner. I couldn’t wait to meet Poppy and as soon as I was able she allowed my wife and I to visit and again answered all our questions. The whole experience was smooth and so easy. If I ever want or need another golden I know who I will go to.

+5We had a wonderful experience with Sara. Our new puppy, Benny (previously Scout) is everything we could have hoped for. Sara was always quick to respond when I had questions and frequently posted photo and video updates. Their family was kind enough to transport him 6+ hours for us and made the process as easy as possible. Our puppy has been very well mannered and doing great with our kids and other dog (2 year old beagle we recently rescued). He sleeps well, eats well, and we adore him. Would highly recommend working with Sara!

“Sara was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. From the first message to the day I picked up my puppy River, she was professional, caring, and always kept me updated. Even two weeks after bringing River home, I reached out to her with a question and she responded quickly with helpful advice. It’s clear she truly cares about her dogs and their new families. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

Sara was very sweet and professiona! She was easy to work with and helped me calm down when I was getting too excited 🤣 After a few questions we knew Redbull (formerly known as Patton) was a good fit for me. He’s in training already to be my service animal.
