Animal lover- I have a dog of my own. He's a boxer mix and ten years old. I rescued him as a puppy. Easily the best decision of my life. I live near the Chattahoochee River where there are tons of hiking trails. I love being outdoors and understand the importance of outdoor time for your pet. I have a gate on my patio as well, when weather permits I enjoy leaving the door open and let the pups roam around. I also have an older love-seat out there for them to catch some R&R in the sun. Clyde, my dog, enjoys that frequently. My apartment is always clean, so the chance of your pet getting into something it non-existent. I'm easy-going and show love for all pets!
