Shannon was super friendly and welcoming, and had all the info all ready for me when I arrived. She also had microchipped the pup and given ‘Rusty’ his anti-worming dose and his first vaccine shot. He is settling in very quickly and at 10 plus weeks already knows come, sit, paw, and ‘wait’ at the door before going in it out. We’re working on down, and still working on house training and ‘leave it!’. He’s very quick and adorable. Shannon also has been happy to answer questions and ask how we’re doing.
