Verified owner · Dec. 2024
+5Sarah made the entire process super easy. She was very responsive from the beginning and nothing was too big of an ask with her. She was very accommodating, she arranged a visit with all the pups for me and answered any and all questions I had. It’s obvious she takes good care of her dogs and puppies, and that she wants them to go to the perfect homes.
