  Last month, I was approached by a colleague who had purchased a GSD from Cindy about a year ago. My colleague has been taking Cindy up on her weekend canine training sessions since he had obtained his beautiful German Shepherd. After some small talk between the two of them, Cindy expressed that she was interested in giving back to the veteran community, and she had asked him if he had known anyone, he acknowledged that he did and pulled me (United States Army Veteran) aside later that week to pass along the news and ask if I was interested, I of course most certainly was, I’ve always wanted a Shepherd. I went up that following weekend with my colleague to meet Cindy and maybe a future canine companion. As I sat watching her work with her dogs, I couldn’t help but realize just how much she cared about her dogs. Even though the dogs she was working with had already been placed in homes for different amounts of time, she knew how to work with each one of them, she knew their weaknesses and their strengths and she knew how to build them up. My mother rehabilitated wild animals for quite a few years and I couldn’t help but realize that Cindy and my mother had the same personalities when it came to their fur children. I just saw a review on google stating that Cindy was mean, and that she “refused” to let this customer adopt one of her dogs. These are her dogs, she most definitely loves them more than she loves you and she wants to make sure that they are going to be well taken care of. As a business owner she most certainly has the right to refuse service. Anyway, Cindy first introduced me to an 11 month old male, he was beautiful but he was also massive and still had some growing to do. Cindy could sense that I was slightly uncomfortable with his size and he didn’t seem too into me so she asked her kennel hand to retrieve Frankie for me. Frankie was also 11 months old, but smaller being that she was a female. I fell in love with her the minute I saw her. I think Cindy knew right away that we were a great match. After a day of working with Frankie, I think Cindy and I both decided that she would be a great fit for my family and I, but I wanted my girlfriend to meet her. The following weekend, my girlfriend tagged along to meet Frankie. Frankie was just as interested in my girlfriend as she was in me, we brought her home that day. She’s been home with us for about a week and a half now and I couldn’t imagine not having her here with us. She is smart, loyal, and extremely loving. I am grateful for people like Cynthia who are reaching out to the veteran community. Her compassion and generosity alone have put me at ease knowing that she’d be there if I ever had any questions. Overall, it’s been a great experience and I can’t thank her enough.
