Misty was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive to emails and kept us updated with weekly photos until our pup was ready to come home with us. Daisy (Cherry) has settled in nicely and is a furry ball of energy. I would highly recommend Misty and her puppies.

+4Misty was very responsive. She answered any questions that I had throughout the process of bringing our little Poppy (Andy) home. Poppy is the sweetest, happiest little puppy and that's thanks to the love, care and socialization Misty and her family provided. I also would like to thank Cynthia and her brother for transporting Poppy to us. I felt very comfortable during Poppy's journey because of the communication I had with Cynthia before and during transport.

+8Misty was very responsive and helpful every step of the journey. She did an outstanding job of socializing and getting Henry ready for his trip to our home. She truly cares about her puppies and does all she can to make sure they are healthy and well rounded. Henry is a sweet boy with a fantastic temperament. He’s 5 months old now and weighs 11.2 pounds. He’s happy and healthy. Full of life and very smart. His training is going well and he’s very motivated to please us. He loves our grandchildren and wants to be around people all the time. He likes meeting new people and other animals. He’s very friendly. Misty did a great job for us and I highly recommend her if you want a Shichon. Very cute and sweet dogs.

My baby Buddy is 6 months old - and he is the best of my kids! Working with Misty was wonderful. She was so easy to communicate with before we took Buddy home. I could tell how much she loved him and see how well he was cared for. She was happy to answer all of our nervous questions with patience. I recommend her highly!

Misty was amazing! She kept us updated throughout the process. She took such good care of our pups (two sisters). They were already mostly potty trained and they were LOVED. They slept through the night right away! It was a beautiful experience.

+5From the beginning Misty made the process of bringing our new puppy home easy and made sure we knew what we needed to be prepared! She was quick to respond to questions and even sent frequent pictures and updates to keep us posted on our puppy even before we picked her up. Our puppy, Lady, is absolutely perfect, and I would recommend Misty and Willow River to anyone!
