I have most experience with larger dogs (and they tug at my heartstrings more!) - my partner and I recently fostered a rescued husky/german shepherd mix for 3 months and trained her. She had just come from surviving in the forest after being abandoned and needed a lot of love and training (and exercise!). I would love to care for your big dog, but am open to other pups as well. Things I would like to know: 1) Does your dog have any health issues or distinct habits? Just let me know beforehand so I know it's a recurring thing and don't get too concerned. 2) Does your dog require medication? 3) How much do you feed your pup and when? How much exercise is your dog used to? 4) What habits do you encourage / discourage? Is your dog allowed on furniture in your home (it's totally okay if they are, but just so I know)? 5) If your dog has a health issue and needs to be taken to the vet while you are away, obviously I am happy to do that. I would like to talk about what reimbursement would hypothetically look like up front, just so we're clear.

-morning runs in my neighborhood -trips to the local dog park -backyard play (i have tug toys, balls etc) -i have a car, and, if you and your dog is comfortable with it, local hikes are also a possibility
