    Working with Evelyn was such a wonderful experience. She responded as soon as I contacted her and answered all of my questions. She kept me updated with pictures and videos as I waited for the day I could pick up my puppy Ziggy. Evelyn was also vey flexible and patient I’m so thankful I had such a wonderful experience with Evelyn. I highly recommend her to everyone and would definitely work with her again.

    Evelyn was so responsive from the minute I reached out to inquire about her puppies. She made sure I received frequent updates about my little guy and provided pictures and videos often. No that I have my little Archer 🏹 home with me it is clear that he had been well loved since birth. He is the sweetest most confident puppy 🐾 We will always be thankful to Our ShihTzu Family 💕

    My wife and I are in love with Milos he is perfect 😍 Evelyn made us feel comfortable from day one. We never felt pressured in any way, which says a lot about her. She truly cares that Poppy and Chewy’s puppies go to families who will love and treat them well. We had never had a puppy before, and she has been incredibly supportive and helpful with all of our questions. She explains everything very clearly, vaccines, feeding, how to take care of a puppy, and especially the specific needs of a Shih Tzu. Evelyn, thank you so much for everything 🙌

    Evelyn was great throughout this process. I’ll be honest, it was very quick, but the choice was easy once I saw Peanut compared to the other 20 some dogs I saw. My mom and our family have gone through an incredible amount of loss in a very short period of time. Peanut has made her smile more in the last 2 days than she has in the last 2 months. We are grateful.

    When we decided to adopt an adult Shih Tzu, we weren’t sure what to expect. Rehoming an adult dog can come with unknowns, and we had a lot of questions. From the very first message, Evelyn put us completely at ease. What impressed us most was the communication. Every question we asked — no matter how small — was answered promptly and thoughtfully. She took the time to walk us through the dog’s history, personality, routine, and health records. There was never a sense of being rushed. The support didn’t stop at pickup either. She provided guidance during the travel and after we brought her home. Our girl is healthy, well-mannered, and adjusting well. That doesn’t happen by accident — it’s a reflection of the love and care she received before she came to us.

    Evelyn was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She was very responsive, patient with our questions, and kept us updated with photos and information before we brought Podo home. She even allowed us to meet Podo ahead of time, which made the experience extra special, and kindly offered to drive closer to us for the pickup. She also gave us a puppy starter kit, which was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture. Podo is such a healthy, sweet, playful, and well-adjusted puppy, which really shows how much love and care he received early on. It’s clear Evelyn truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a Shih Tzu puppy.
