I grew up around dogs, my parents had boxers. My great grandfather trained and showed blood hounds, so the training has been passed down for generations. I am comfortable around all sizes, breeds, and mixes. Through other family and friends I have been able to help with training and exposure to special needs pets. I believe pets deserve the best care, a calm space, and attention. I am an artist who spends most days primarily speaking to my own dogs, so your pretty pooch would not go lonely in my company! Our house is spacious and has a screened front porch. Our permanent pets are Zeek, a Carolina dog, he’s 11, Calypso, a Blue Healer & Australian Shepherd mix, she’s 5, and Whiskey Fizzgigg, an old domesticated alley cat from Chicago, he’s 16. Our mini brood is well adjusted and relaxed, they welcome new friends. We are ready to meet you and your special furry family member.
