I have had many pets over the years - Terriers, Labs, German Shepherds and cats - and care very much about all visiting furry friends! I have a large back yard in sun and shade, and love walks on the beach if my new friend would like a romp! And our neighborhood is also a great area for walking. I have a mature cat who tolerates dogs, even my son's Great Dane lol. My house is tile flooring throughout, so any accidents are not a big deal. I am home all day and available to travel around the Beaches area. I don't mind travelling with animals in the car. I can do basic grooming and bathing, either in a tub or outdoors with a hose.
