Seventeen years ago, I bought a tiny little Chihuahua mix from Pauley's. We named him Smoky for his black and white coloring. As a puppy, he was so small he could fit into the palm of your hand. Since then, he has been the smartest, most loyal companion anyone could ever ask for and still remains by our side today.

I wish to thank Pauley's Pups for bringing such a wonderful friend into my family's lives. He is seventeen, going on 100, but he is still my little snuggle-bunny. When he and my two daughters were young, he learned everything they ever wanted him to do, whether it was herding frogs for the kids to catch, or just lying quietly until they went to sleep—he did whatever their little hearts wanted. Smoky was an absolute genius in the prime of his life, knew over a hundred words, and was even able to adeptly play hide-and-seek with the children. He is an old dog now, somewhat blind and somewhat deaf, the equivalent of a 90-year-old man, and so well-loved. My children are now in their early twenties and can't re-imagine their childhoods without him.

Thank you for him.

My husband and I popped in to Pauley's on a family visit back to VA. We were just planning to do some "research" on breeds, but as my dad put it: "I don't know anyone who leaves that place without a dog." We flew back to St Louis with Finn, our 8 week old Morkie. He's since been extremely energetic, healthy, and is learning new tricks every day. :) Lucky boy is a shop dog at Mom's boutique job and meets new admirers daily! Thanks for accommodating us and helping us add to our "fur family"!

We purchased our Teddy Bear Puppy in January 2013. Her name is Cupcake. She is a terrific addition to the family. My wife is allergic of dogs but this one was a perfect fit. She does not bark alot and she is very friendly. I would like to Thank Pauley's Pups for the wonderful service that we received and your friendly staff that went the extra mile to ensure she was the best fit for the family.

My husband and I purchased a Yorki-Poo from Pauley's recently. Took her to the vet yesterday and she is a very healthy puppy according to him. The people here were very nice and helpful, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the store. Very happy with our new puppy! She is a blessing to us!

I have purchased in the past two Shih Tzu's, Katie and Kassie Kent. Unfortunately, age gets the best of our beloved pets and we've lost Katie, the love of my life. Kassie was brought in when we had bred Katie and we thought Katie was having puppies as we had bred her and insiminated her as well. So, she did not have puppies but we introducted Kassie into Katie's life and it was mother and daughter to the end. Again, we miss Katie so very much and Kassie now has a rescued Chihauhau and a Yorkie that just turned a year - she's older but she loves them. We live in SC now but again, I have recommended so many friends and they have purchased 2, 3 and more, it's like we all just love those babies so much even grown. There is nothing like the unconditional love of a dog, there are some that miss out on that and I feel sorry for them...they don't want them in the house (my step-mother was one of those YUCK and my father loved my dogs and really liked having them around, God bless him). I highly recommend you getting a pup from Pauley's and he stands by each and every one. WHO KNOWS, IF PASSING THROUGH UP IN VA AS MY OTHER SHIH TZU IS ALMOST 13....WE MIGHT JUST WANT ANOTHER DOG!!! THANKS TO THE PAULEY FAMILY!
