I've had animals my entire life and am especially versed in a variety of rescue animals. I have two rescue labs myself that have attended doggy daycares since they were pups (though they are still pups) and have done well at being socialized with cats and other dogs. I have a huge fenced in backyard, perfect for play, and live right off of the Two Rivers/Manitowoc lakeshore path which makes for perfect walks. I can administer medicine and have worked with puppies and dogs with that need frequent behavioral training. My children are good with animals and with me a few days a week as their father and I have shared custody, so if you are concerned about your dog and kids - we can flex our custody schedules. I love hikes in the local state park and along the lakeshore path, am a huge backyard fetch and running fan, and will stay engaged and actively watch your dog while in my care. I am currently working from home fulltime and welcome dogs into my home to keep me and my other animals company as mom and/or dad need help with their critters. I am flexible and available 7 days a week unless I have any planned trips - though those are rare. Large open second story floor plan and big back yard. Kennels available for dogs that need their private space or overnight sleep space, but not necessary if your dog prefers dog beds and/or actual beds. Plenty of sleep space to go around and an awesome walking trail across the street and dog park nearby. Currently, I have 2 pups that get along great with other dogs and learn from their "elder" dogs as well. Plenty of teething treats, dog treats, and toys to go around. Can provide bathing & teeth brushing upon request.
