Owned dogs my whole life. Currently have two beautiful Shepherd / Malamutes to play with. A large backyard in a non busy neighborhood. They’ll get lots of love, exercise, and social time ! I work from home as a music production engineer, so I make my own schedule and it’s very flexible. I take frequent breaks every hour or so to do things with my dogs and yours could fit right in the schedule ! I have two extremely friendly and fun shepherd/ malamute mixes. A large backyard with lots of shade in a non busy neighborhood. The yard is not fenced in, but I have leads that allow them to run the whole backyard. As I said above it’s not a crowded street either. I work from home as a sound engineer, and have been fortunate enough to make my dogs a priority in my life/schedule. since i made that decision to realized I have the room and time to help others who’s schedules are as dog friendly. my dogs have never been crated, but I can definitely crate yours if that’s what works best. my two pups refuse to go downstairs, so I tend to set up my boarding dogs down there so that they have there own space to eat and sleep (if they choose). i’ve boarded tons of dogs and never had one who wants to sleep away from my two, but iy definitely helps to let them eat down there with no pressure.
