Super Friendly & Perfect Match
I had a really nice experience with Small Dog Adoptions. I recently had the privilege to adopt a small dog. They are super friendly in all their communications, an absolute pleasure to deal with. I also find their adoption fees to be more reasonable than other adoption services I had dealt with before. They really try and find the right match for each dog.
