    Melissa responded right away and made it very easy for me to acquire Lily. The dog is very affectionate and loving. She wants to see and be involved in everything. It didn’t take her long to become adjusted to her surroundings. She’s my constant companion and a very happy dog. I would like to ask what brand of puppy pads Melissa provided as the dog seems to prefer those to mine. She had her first checkup at Iowa State Veterinary Clinic and is a very healthy girl.

    Melissa was so wonderful to work with. She’s very responsive and answered all the questions that we had as new pup owners. We adore our little Moose. He’s very well behaved and truly the best boy. I’m so thankful to Melissa for all that she does.
