I am a dog lover and the proud owner of a 3 pound chihuahua, I also am an active volunteer for the MN Pitbull Rescue group so I have not only fostered dogs but have gone through training with them. I have been exposed to dogs with all different temperments and backgrounds. I have a fenced in yard and hardwood floors so if there are accidents no big deal. If your dog is accustomed to sleeping with you they are welcome to sleep in my bed, of they are normally crated or have a dog bed please bring it with on their vacation.
