i have had pets on & off for years including dogs, we currently dont have any pets at our house now but eventually sometime in the future we hope to get a dog! i have 3 kids that also love dogs, although your dog would be cared for by me. i can assure you i will take the absolute best care of your dog, he/she will be treated like a part of my family when they are with me! if you have any more questions or need to know anything else at all, dont hesitate to ask! i've always had a love for animals since i was very young, when i was little my dream was to be a veterinarian! i wish i had followed through with that dream!
