I've taken care of a wide range of animals from snakes , cats, ferrets , and yes doggies too! I also happen to have two huskies, two cats , and four baby turtles of my own . I know how to give dogs CPR I've also have tons and tons of love to give them while you are out! I completely believe and dogs are a mans best friend. My back yard has no grass currently due to the drought but pet friendly and they are able to run around freely. I have tile flooring to keep the dogs cooled, For the larger dogs I have a raised feeding bowl stand and cold purified water always available. I have treats for basic training ( if needed) I live rather close to the beach where dogs can run around and play in the water
