I have been a dog owner for 35 years to a variety of breeds, including labs, coon hounds, collies, scottish terriers, schnauzers, and other mixed breeds...and generally to 2 at a time. I have always been a dog lover, from playing fetch to long walks I love spending time with such energetic animals. I currently own 2 dogs (a black lab and a beagle-terrier mix). While living in Alaska, I fostered 3 dogs as they waited to be adopted. Through this experience I learned to love every dog like it is my own. I also worked with drug detection and sniffing dogs while serving in the Coast Guard. Now that I have retired, I have extra time that I would love to fill with walking, petting, and spending time with your dog. I am flexible with scheduling and willing to give your dog all the love it needs.
