Verified owner · May 2025
Stephanie was wonderful throughout the purchase and pickup of our new older pup. She was very communicative and worked with our schedule on the pickup date as we had travel scheduled. Our Memphis had been house trained, obedience trained, and was well socialized, as well as possessing a very sweet personality.
