Always have had dogs, big, small, puppies til adults. Right now we have a brendle 7 year old female we rescued from the streets, and she is the biggest lover! Leaving the corporate world of Seattle and moving to Maple Falls to live in nature and perhaps start an animal rescue. Love the idea of getting back into shape while helping dogs get exercise and be happy, and you get happy owners as a result!! I've worked with King County Animal Shelter and for several veterinary hospitals and am well versed in pet needs. I have more references upon request--I was using Craigslist before this site existed. I have a home in the woods with a creek and plenty of yardage for them to explore. It is considered the "doggy camp"
