“The home looked like a very thoughtful and clean space for pups. He had plenty of dog beds of different sizes , space for dogs to walk around , and a fenced yard. I didn’t have any issues and the clear communication took a lot of weight off my shoulders . Blu came home happy, content, and seemed like he felt at home there - he wasn’t in a rush to leave or anxious when I picked him up . Would recommend to anyone!”
