I've had dogs, and other animals, since I can remember. I have a 5 yr old female husky mix that's been through it all with me. She is very friendly with other dogs, pets, kids, etc. Shes a ball of energy after each night of sleep that Im challenged to wear out every day. She's spoiled and yours will be treated the same. While fun is the best, I dont over do it. I have plenty of wooded areas to run, walk and play with the dogs of any size. My summer is while open, with no solid plans. Let me host your pet so you'll know they are having a blast, even when you're at work not. While I dont have experienced with senior or special needs dogs, I am willing to learn and grow my knowledge of them.
