My wife and I both have a long history of caring for animals, dogs in particular. We have 2 very well-mannered (though high-energy!) rescue dogs to prove it! We'd love to meet your furry four-leggeds as well. We are a very laid-back household, and love making the dogs that stay with us feel like they are at home. We are used to having to deal with picky eaters, energetic breeds (ours are Shepherd/Huskies), anxious or reclusive critters, and sick animals. We make an effort each day to get the dogs out of the neighborhood and out to explore one of our excellent public parks or trails in the Bozeman area. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with additional questions or special requests, I'd be thrilled to hear from you!
