Tina C.
“We wanted to surprise our daughter with a shihpoo puppy for Christmas the only problem was we had to pick her up a week before Christmas. Tina watched Daisy Mae for us and loved her like her own. She would send me videos and pics of her daily. I knew with all off Tina's experience with working at a vets office as well as breeding and raising her own puppies she was exactly who we were looking for the help us carry out our surprise. She is top notch in our book.”

“We have always joked that Cierra is a dog whisperer. She has a great love for all animals, dogs especially.

Does it get any better than that?”

“Jenna is great with all animals. Animals also really take a liking to her. I have seen her in situations where she had to control dogs that were not hers.
