I have grown up with dogs all my life as a part of my family, your dog will be loved and cared for as one of our own pups. They will have a one year old Chessie friend (Bennett) to play with while at our house, and we will do our best to make them feel right at home. Bennett is a well mannered pup, who loves all dogs & most cats. He is not neutered so only fixed females please. My husband and I both work and would both be out of the house from about 8-2pm Monday-Friday and are around on the weekends. Otherwise potty breaks etc. will be determined by your dog's schedule. (: We look forward to meeting you and your puppy!
