Real stories from dog owners who found perfect companions on Petmeetly
It went great! We traveled to Columbus, Ohio, and brought home Angus. He is the sweetest boy and bonded with me very quickly. I’m so grateful I was able to find him. In such a short time, he has already trained me well. I know his routine for going outside, and he eats calmly without rushing his food. Angus has truly filled an empty spot in my heart. Here are some pictures of him.
