When it comes to finding the right puppy, there’s one thing that matters more than anything else: trust. You want to feel confident that the puppy you bring home is healthy, loved, and raised the right way. And to be honest, there’s a lot of noise out there. A lot of fear. A lot of assumptions.

This article is a collection of real voices, families who took the leap, trusted our process, and found something truly special. From the first call to gotcha day (and every moment since), here’s what they want you to know. 

From First Click to First Cuddle 

These families talk about what it was like to work with Lone Star Pups - from the first message to the day their puppy came home. Clear communication, timely updates, and a sense of genuine care made the whole process feel safe and seamless. 

Kippy’s Story 

When Kippy’s family began searching for a Mini Sheepadoodle, they hoped to find a companion who was not only adorable, but easy to bring home. Buying a puppy online can feel uncertain, but from the very beginning, Kippy’s family felt supported every step of the way. 

“My experience has been incredible from start to finish. They made the whole process very easy for me. They are well organized and let me know the next steps before they happened. They kept in touch while I waited for my sweet puppy.” 

It didn’t take long for Kippy to settle in and show her personality. She turned out to be playful, affectionate, and full of life. 

“Kippy loves people and balls. Playing fetch is her most favorite thing to do. Loves walks and playing at the dog park. At the end of the day when she is ready to unwind, she sits on the couch with me and lays her head on my lap. She wants to please. She gets along well with other dogs. She is very happy and loves life.” 

For her family, the experience was smooth, genuine, and unforgettable.  

“I highly recommend Lone Star Pups.”

Moki’s Story 

Moki (originally named Pharo) didn’t just arrive healthy, he came home bouncing with joy, already confident, friendly, and ready to adjust to his new world. For his family, that said everything about where he came from. 

“Moki (Pharo) is a healthy, happy boy who loves everyone, 2 legs and 4.” 

From the start, Moki showed signs of having been raised the right way. He walked well on leash, handled new situations with ease, and adapted to his new routine without stress. 

“You can tell a good breeder because this boy had no fear from the start, was adjusted to being handled, walked great on leash. Took no time to pee on pads as a pup.” 

And behind that strong start was a process that felt professional, thoughtful, and well-managed. 

“Experience start to finish was top-notch.” 

Soon enough came the update about Moki settling in just great as we knew he would.

"Loves long walks, playing with his sisters , and likes messing around with his cat brother and sister. Loves his toys but prefers sitting in my lap and sleeping next to me all night long. The picture shows how it started and how it's going!"

Gracie’s Story 

Gracie’s family didn’t just have a smooth experience with Lone Star Pups. They found a true companion. Now a little adult, Gracie is full of life, energy, and affection. 

“Gracie is about to be 5 months old. She loves running and playing. She especially enjoys fetching the ball. She is adorable and we love each other so much.” 

The support didn’t stop after the adoption. Gracie’s family appreciated the follow-up and the care that continued once she was home. 

“They checked on Gracie and made sure everything was going well.” 

Their experience left such a strong impression that it inspired their extended family to adopt, too. 

“I would certainly recommend Lone Star if you’re in the market for a puppy. As a matter of fact, my cousins just met Gracie and they wanted to know where I got her. I showed them the Lone Star website and they just purchased Aaron, a Cavachon.”

Cookie’s Story 

For Cookie’s family, the adoption process felt clear, reassuring, and full of care. Every question was answered, and everything felt right before she even came home. 

“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Before bringing her home, I was well informed and all questions were answered. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and beautiful dog!” 

But the real magic happened after Cookie settled in. She’s become a joyful, social, and energetic part of the family. She is full of charm and endless affection. 

“Cookie loves to play! She is a super friendly dog and loves every animal and person that she encounters! She’s full of energy and extremely smart.” 

No matter the weather, Cookie insists on getting outside and insists even more on being noticed. 

“She enjoys being outside and cries when not acknowledged by others.” 

The family says they feel blessed to have her, and it shows. 

“We are so blessed to have her as a part of our family!”

Reese’s Story 

Not every puppy grows into a titleholder, but Reese, a white Poodle originally named Saxon, is proving just how far a strong foundation can go. 

“Lone Star Pups was very professional and delivered what was promised. Reese (white poodle previously known as Saxon) now has 3 AKC titles. He is very smart. The last title, BCAT, included recognition of the breeder, Dennis Yoder from Ohio. I am very confident in this business and this breeder.” 

His family recently shared another milestone: 

“Reese got his AKC B-CAT title this weekend! Fast little dude! He ran 21.7 miles per hour! Looking forward to the next run.”

Dolly’s Story 

After losing their 15-year-old Yorkie, this family wasn’t sure how to move forward until a neighbor shared their own experience with Lone Star Pups. That trust made all the difference. 

“My neighbors bought a Goldendoodle from Lone Star Pups and they had a great experience. After our 15-year-old Yorkie passed away, we decided to get a female Cavapoo from Lone Star Pups.” 

What came next exceeded expectations. 

“I LOVE Lone Star Pups! The entire process was amazing!” 

From the moment they saw Dolly to the day they brought her home, everything just felt right. She was healthy, bright, and already adjusted to people and her new environment. 

“Let me just say… She is perfect!!!! Dolly is healthy, smart and sweet as can be. She’s the perfect addition to our family.” 

They also appreciated the transparency - being able to see pictures of Dolly’s parents gave them peace of mind. 

“I loved that I was able to see pictures of her parents. That was very nice.” 

And once they picked her up? 

“It seemed like she was socially adapted, which is great! Everyone that I was in contact with was extremely friendly and helpful.” 

Their final words say it all: 

“I would 100% recommend Lone Star Pups to anyone who’s looking for a dog! You won’t regret it!!!!”

We Almost Didn’t Go Through With It 

These are the families who hesitated. Who felt nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure if they could really take the leap. And now? They can’t imagine life without their pup. 

Srinivas & Family’s Story 

For years, Srinivas and his wife said no. Their kids begged for a puppy, but with no prior experience raising a dog, the fear of the unknown always won. 

“My kids were asking for a puppy for the last 3–4 years and me and my wife never agreed as we have zero experience with pets. We were beyond scared to get a puppy and finally took the decision.” 

They did their research, compared their options, and eventually found Lone Star Pups thanks to a recommendation from someone in their community. From there, things just fell into place. 

“Setting up the initial appointment and getting information about available puppies was super easy.” 

Then came adoption day. 

“On our big day, we cried seeing the cute puppy and Lone Star Pups made it so easy for us throughout the journey.” 

What stood out most? The care didn’t stop when they walked out the door. 

“They followed up with us regularly and they even do now after almost 10 months—and I didn’t expect this kind of care from anyone.” 

And for families just starting their own search, Srinivas has one thing to say: 

“Simply put, Lone Star Pups is the BEST! You are in safe hands and they will be with you throughout your journey.” 

@prettyyblessedd’s Story 

This reviewer didn’t sugarcoat their nerves, and they didn’t hold back their praise either. What began with a fear of being scammed turned into one of the best experiences they’ve ever had. 

“I was nervous about being scammed—I didn’t want to pay for a ‘catfish.’ But Lonestar exceeded my expectations.” 

From the moment they inquired, everything felt reassuring. Questions were answered, updates arrived weekly, and even a video of their puppy showed up while they waited for adoption day. 

“They answered all of my questions, kept in touch with me weekly, and even sent a video of my pup while I waited the month for him. I was worried they might push his availability date back, but they stayed true to their word.” 

Even the small moments mattered. Arrival instructions came without needing to ask. Pickup day went smoothly even if the drive felt a little remote. 

“On the way to pick him up, I was a little nervous because the location is in the middle of nowhere—but don’t worry, you won’t get stolen! The pickup process itself was seamless, though I’d recommend bringing someone along for the ride.” 

What truly stood out was the aftercare. 

“They sent him home with food, detailed care instructions, his microchip info, and even a little travel kennel. They went above and beyond by texting me every day for about a week and a half to check on him. It was such a thoughtful touch!” 

Now, nearly two months later, there’s no doubt in their mind. 

“He is the best decision I’ve ever made! Honestly, I need Lonestar to stay open forever because when my pup crosses the rainbow bridge in 10–15 years, I’ll be coming right back to them.” 

And for anyone still on the fence: 

“I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a furry companion! If you want to see me and my pup in real life, check out my Instagram: @prettyyblessedd!”
