My husband and I have been fostering puppies through a local rescue for close to a year now, and we have cared for older dogs over the past two years. We understand 2:00 AM wake up calls, and we have experience in administering oral medication to dogs. We are also very observant. My husband works from home year-round, and I am home during the summers, as I am a public school teacher. We have a fenced in backyard, and we also have hardwood (wipeable) floors. We absolutely love dogs; we are just not yet able to care for one of our own, full-time. Additionally, we have beautiful, spacious parks (including a large dog park a few miles down the road) and walking trails near our home!
