Sara is amazing - she goes above and beyond to care for and socialize her dogs and find them their forever home. She loves her dogs and they clearly love her. I visited her home a number of times - she is extremely knowledgeable about Havanese and dogs in general. She has made the process of bringing a puppy to its new home very easy and comfortable. She has answered my many questions and I really appreciate her support and expertise. Great experience.
