Working with Shelby through Petty Paws to find my Cock-A-Tzu, Piper, was an absolute dream. Shelby made the entire process incredibly smooth, stress-free, and transparent from start to finish. You can tell she genuinely cares about placing her puppies in loving homes and provides amazing support throughout the journey. At 4 months old, Piper is the most cuddly, sweet, cute, and playful girl, and she absolutely loves kids! I am so grateful to Shelby for my healthy, happy, and stunningly beautiful pup those sweet, expressive eyes melt my heart every single day.
