My wife and I have lots of experience caring for and training dogs. We also share an indiscriminate love for dogs and enjoy having dogs at our house. I work from home and find that it's a nice distraction to pet and play with the dogs throughout the day. If your dog likes other dogs and is a good fit in our home, we'd be happy to have him or her. We adopted a very sick, very underweight puppy named Scout a few years ago and now she is one of the happiest, healthiest, sweetest dogs I've ever known. We recently adopted a second dog, Wrangler. He keeps finding new ways to impress us with his sweetness and athleticism. He's more Velcro than Scout and has a need to be as physically close to another dog or human as he possibly can. Both of our dogs love company and playing with dogs of all sizes. That said, they're both kind of rough and tumble and play best with medium to huge dogs. We live on roughly an acre, most of it fenced-in backyard, in a quiet and friendly neighborhood. We have lots of dog toys because I have a weakness for buying things for my dogs. We take our dogs for two 1.5mi walks per day and would accommodate your dog's walking schedule as needed. Scout does not do well when we leave her home alone, so we don't go many places where we cannot take her. That means your dog would also not be left at home without us except on rare occasions.
