I have a miniature dachshund and two cats. They are all very loving and friendly with each other and other dogs and cats that have come in contact with them. They've been together pretty much from birth. I live about two blocks away from a local park where i frequently go for walks. I am a care giver for mentally handicap adults with behaviors and have been doing it for about 12 years. I live with my fiance and we are both huge animal lovers! I sit for my parents dogs every few months when they go out of town and none of the animals have ever had any issues. So if you're looking for someone awesome and loving to take care of your animals.. LOOK NO FURTHER!
