Courtney was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was quick to answer questions (I had lots) and was so helpful with making this adoption happen for us in a way that felt comfortable. She went above and beyond to make the adoption process smooth and was incredibly thorough! When we received Echo (Dove), Courtney had printouts of all medical records, follow ups needed, and a bag of goodies (including a blanket that smells like her mom & litter). She clearly cares about the wellbeing of the pups and I would absolutely adopt from her again. We couldn’t be happier!

+5💜 Angel and DeGray Great Danes & English Bulldogs has been wonderful to work with. They were always extremely responsive to any questions that I had before and after we brought Kye home. They are super easy to work with, and I appreciate their help in bringing in my next Service dog. I look forward to my continued work with them to have the healthiest pup possible. Many thanks to the whole family and business!

+4Grey Cloud has been an awesome experience for adopting our adorable Annie (Splash). Courtney clearly cares a lot about hers dogs and has been incredibly kind and responsive throughout the adoption process. Our puppy is a beautiful and healthy girl with lots of spunk and quite the brain. We’re so excited to be a part of our Aussie’s life and look forward many years of walks, fetch and cuddles.

We had a wonderful experience with Gray Cloud from start to finish. Every question or concern was responded to in a thoughtful and timely manner. Even after picking up our boy, we are still in contact. Our sweet boy is beautiful, and healthy, and we absolutely adore him. We would recommend Gray Cloud to all of our friends and family. The puppies are loved and well looked after. We couldn’t have had a more smooth transition.
