I have always had pets. My dogs are "kids" to me and I have had special needs dogs. I like to learn, and each pet has their own uniqueness. Embracing and celebrating that has been rewarding in how they react to me. I work part time at a school so I am able to sit and/or walk most days. During summer I am almost always available. Boarding is possible most of the year, and I am a responsible and dependable adult. We (myself, my husband and adult son) have had 2 special needs German shepherds ourselves, and live on 5 acres currently, walking daily. Whatever the need, I am open to helping and like to be a part of the community. Trust is essential. I do work for a school district so I have been fingerprinted and checked out thoroughly. Any questions are welcome!
