I'm one of the few who enjoys any type of dog. I don't prefer small dogs or big dogs- I genuinely enjoy any dog of any bark! For example- when I get to meet a young husky, I see that as a challenge to my endurance. On the other hand, I see a graying basset hound as an opportunity to go slow and appreciate the smaller things life provides. I have thought for a while that my ideal way to retire would be to start an animal shelter. I want to help make our fast-paced human-conditioned world a little friendlier to those we share this place with. I see Rover as a resource to help me reach this goal of making our furry friends more comfortable.
