Business:

• Success Story: Hello! I'm just leaving a quick note  of thanks! Thanks to you guys, almost 11 years ago we picked up a  mastiff from a foster on a farm in Statesville. He was so scared of new  people he backed himself  into a corner and peed himself. I'm happy to say he's happy and  friendly and still with us! You'd never believe it, but we have a  31-unit multifamily rental, and he is the ambassador of the property and  greets everyone! Winston has been an awesome family member  and we're still loving him.  Kristen McKissick- Dawn to get update photo for social media story (Lidia)
