    My experience with paws and kisses was very smooth and very grateful for such a healthy, beautiful puppy

    Callie was super easy to communicate with, and sent pictures and videos each week of our puppies. My family adopted littermates (a girl and a boy dachshund). We could not be happier that we chose to adopt from Paws & Kisses. The entire process was stress free and easy. If you are looking to add a furry friend to your family I cannot recommend Callie enough!
