I am a lifetime dog owner. I have had 8 dogs during my 48 years and loved each from pup to passing. Much experience has come with my own dogs along with caring for others occasionally at the request of friends and happenstance meetings during recreational activities with my own best friend. I have my own furry friend, Sam, 4 year old, as pictured. I was fortunate enough to have adopted him from our local rescue. He's amazing! Prior to semi retirement my gift was to provide educational/behavioral consulting services for children. I currently enjoy the flexibility of owning my business and having a flexible schedule affording me time for my 3 grandchildren. I live in a beautiful home with a fenced yard. I take my Sam to the dog park, AH1 Basin Dog Park, every morning enabling lots of time for play and socialization. I look forward to talking with you, meeting your friend and hopefully making a match with new found friends.
