Information Brenda R. would like to know about your pet

I will not take care of aggressive dogs in my home and my size limit is 40 pounds. They must be friendly with other dogs and people. Meet and greets are preferred to be sure your pup will be comfortable with Max and I. My Dog is very dog friendly and I would not want to put him at risk, naturally. I require proof of rabies, distemper and Bordetella and I will provide the same to you.

A typical day

A typical day would be lots of playtime inside and outside depending on weather, potty breaks, treats (approved by pet owner), rest time as needed. My home will be their home while they are in my care.

I have known Brenda Russell for well over 10 years now. We bonded over our love for animals . I am very protective about who I would trust my babies with but, I would have zero qualms about leaving them in Brenda's care. She both responsible and trustworthy. She volunteers her time to a pet rescue/adoption agency which says a lot about her dedication to making sure these precious dogs get a second chance at life in a safe and loving home. I believe she will make a wonderful addition to your organization.
