+5Amanda and Terry are wonderful. They are so kind and responsive. I highly recommend them. They sent us updates, answered any questions and were lovely to meet in person when it was pick-up day. My sweet girl, Teeter, is everything to me and my family and I’m so thankful that Amanda and Terry helped me find her.

+5We had the most wonderful experience with Amanda & Terry getting our little Lucy. They were extremely responsive on the app and answered all our questions transparently, including recommending our specific girl based on her personality type. Lucy came home at 8 weeks and is extremely well socialized already which made her meeting our 6 year old dog sooo much easier. She also had a great headstart on potty training. We also appreciate Amanda & Terry’s thoroughness in genetic testing to ensure we go home with a healthy pup. Highly recommend TLC Retrievers!
