It was a pleasure working with Kameshia. She kept me informed and sent pictures of Zion. She was very easy to work with and made sure I was comfortable by allowing an alternate pickup site. Zion is so sweet, just a little stubborn and a whole lot adorable. You can tell that he spent his first months being very loved.

I purchased my little fur baby from Ms. Kameshia on Nov. 2. He’s a beautiful, sweet boy and very smart! When he arrived at my home, he was already familiar with pee pads and crating. Ms. Kameshia provided all the required vaccination and microchipping information. My vet said my little bundle is in great shape and was well taken care of in his early weeks of life. If you’re in the market for a beautiful Shih Tzu puppy, I highly recommend Shihtzus4life. Ms. Kameshia is very responsive and clearly takes care of her fur babies!!

From the moment I reached out to Kameshia, she was extremely professional, very responsive, and personable. She was a pleasure to work with. We corresponded through GoodBoy’s email system and Kameshia answered all my questions. Then we scheduled a Zoom call so I could see all four of the puppies because I wasn’t sure which one I wanted because the system only allowed me to select one. So I selected Buddy. After the call, I identified the two I really liked—Bronx and Pumpkin. We met up. So now, I’ve gone from wanting only one puppy to purchasing two. 😊 Kameisha was awesome throughout the entire process. She gave me a separate bag of goodies for both puppies, which contained water and food bowls, pads, nice size baby comforters, toys, and even said I could have the carrier she had brought them in because you see, my purchase was truly spur of the moment and I hadn’t gotten anything. I had two Lhasa Apso who passed in 2015 & 2016 and I was finally ready to become a fur mommy again. Kameisha made the transition from her care to my care so easy. And she followed up to make sure everything was going smoothly. I knew from the moment I met her she cared for and loved her Shih Tzus. I love both puppies. They are truly the most adorable balls of fur.

It was wonderful to work with Kameshia from Shihtzus4life. She was very welcoming and open to my questions and requests. I really appreciated the opportunity to visit my chosen fur baby prior to confirming my purchase. As well as, being invited to visit as much as I like, prior to bringing my new puppy home.
The aftercare Kameshia provided was awesome as well. After taking my fur baby home, Kameshia has checked in on Chloe (my new fur baby) and I on several occassions to make sure all is going well. Overall, it has been a great experience. I must say I would recommend Good Dog and moreover Kameshia from Shihtzus4life for her attentiveness to my family as we pursued our desire to add to our family home. You will definitely be in good hands. She was great to work with. Many thanks Kameshia.
