Grew up in a household that always had a dog. I never had a negative experience with caring for dogs as I grew up loving and cherishing them. My wife and I currently own a dog and we treat him as our son! We love company and would be more than happy to care for your dog (family member for some). Just like Allstate says, "You're dog is in good hands". As a dog owner and dog lover, I am always open to accepting more for a brief stay or longer. Plus, it will also be a chance for my dog to meet new friends. I also seek to provide the best environment for other dogs to ensure that they aren't just lazying around or feeling bored!
