My daughter and I have experience with animals which makes us perfect for providing a safe, "home from home" for your dog, with plenty of toys, love and care. We have a Male, Collie, Labrador Mix, who is 19 months old. He is friendly and well behaved, we also have two cats, therefore, your dog will have to be friendly towards other animals. It is a requirement that your pet is house trained. There are 4 responsible, caring adults in the house, someone will always be there for your dog.
