Hello, my name is Larry. Eleven years ago I found a dog out in the desert and decided to adopt him.Shortly afterwards he came down with Paavo and almost lost him, but he regained his health and turned out be a great companion. I took him on walks everyday,also when I went hiking, and when I rode my bike as he would trot along beside me.His health declined to the point where he couldn't walk anymore and I took care of him for awhile longer then sadly had to put him to sleep. Right away I adopted another dog from the county shelter to have another great companion which I have now. I have a p/t job right now with some mornings and most afternoons open,also weekends. I wouldn't say I have special skills, but would treat your dog like my own.
