Alex is my son and he was given the responsibility of taking care of his first pet when he was 10 years old. We got a Miniature snouzer and she became his very best friend. Alex played with her every day and she slept with him on his bed every night for 14 years until it was her time to go. He was great with her making sure she always got her walks, was always fed, and was always tired at the end of the day! I would recommend Alex to take care of your pets, I know he will appreciate them the way they deserve and most importantly, give them the attention they need to have the best experiences they can have! You won't make a bad choice choosing my son!
