    Francine was wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and was supportive during the adoption process. I was able to see my puppy by FaceTime. Todd met me halfway in Houston to drop off my puppy. Everything went perfectly.

    I purchased Lily, aka Cotton from Ms Francine on Thurs. We met half way in Lake Charles and everything went smoothly from the Good Dog app to Ms Francine keeping in touch with updates and pictures. Ms Francine was a pleasure to work with and even nicer in person. We were sent home with a bag of info from shot records etc. toys, blanket and food. We love Lily and will refer friends, family and coworkers to Ms Francine and her pups.

    Francine was very responsive, professional, and answered all of my questions. Pickup and communication was seamless. Mika (Tawny) is the happiest pup! I highly recommend Francine- she is fantastic and her babies are well loved and cared for.
