I have owned 2 australian shepherds consecutively and grew up with them adjacent a large farm in vermont. The dogs and other animals (chickens, Turkeys) care was supplied by me. I am not a current pet owner, but believe they need our care. I am a student but have tons of free time, though not available friday evenings to saturday evenings for religious reasons. Including all day, every day throughout the week. I have a small apartment with small fenced yard, but also available is the owners yard adjacent to the apartment. We are located in Taos about .5 miles from the plaza. My apartment though it doesnt have alot of space is fully available for anyones dog or cat and has a back door that opens to the owners yard.
