   A Happy Customer

I was thrilled with Tucker Pup's and the enthusiastic and friendly staff that took care of Lexy and Sammy when they stayed for boarding this fall. With each weighing only in at 4 pounds, I was skeptical of leaving them in a boarding facility for fear of them being hurt or merely overwhelmed by much larger and active dogs. However, I was pleased to discover how accommodating Tucker Pup's was, depending upon the needs of each individual dog that walked in the door. Sammy and Lexy had a grand time and are anxious to return!
