Review for Althea Canines, Orangevale, CA, USA
We are a Labrador-loving, active family with children and have historically worked with Labrador rescue organizations to find our four-legged family members. However, in 2021, we decided to work with Willow Kane Farms and Shannon for our next family pup after extensive research. I have always been wary and suspicious of breeders, but after Shannon and I spoke over the phone, I knew she wasn’t in it for the money—breeding Labrador Retrievers are a passion and a calling. Her heart is in helping others through canine relationships. We entered the relationship with Willow Kane Farms with confidence. Communication was open. We traveled two hours to meet Otis weeks before he came
home-having this opportunity was so important for all family members.
I cannot say enough about Otis: he is healthy, happy, engaged and an essential member of our family. We have a son with severe behavioral challenges and Otis has made such a difference in helping to calm and center him. Since then, Otis has come to work with me at my middle school where he sits nicely next to struggling readers, engages aloof teenagers and even gets smiles out of the toughest kids.
Thank you Shannon for your work and heart. Your dogs are truly magnificent!
