Have owned and cared for dogs & cats for 20 years. I have helped a dog rescue and fostered animals in the past. I have a fenced in yard and finished basement both devoted to furry kids. I manage a bank so while I'm at work, you dog can be caged or have the finished basement to enjoy, whatever your preferance. I have a dog and he is good with cats & dogs. He is on eatable flea and tick medication. When I get home from work I take my dog everyday for a 2 mile walk, I could certainly bring your dog with us. I do have 2 children I have shared parenting of ages 11 and 7 that have been raised with animals and are great with them.
