I've always had animals growing up, my children love animals of all shapes and sizes. We lost our fur baby last year she was only 4 years old but had a stroke and Due to financial conditions I can't afford an animal at this time. My kids miss having a dog to cuddle and love, I dont want them to miss out on the experience and lessons of having an animal. We need the love of your animal as much as you need a sitter! I'm a stay at home mother, home schooling 2 out of 3 kids due to the risk of going back to school at this time. We live in a huge 3 story house, all hard wood floors and finished basement, we also have a nice sized fenced in yard and places to play ball close by
