I am a former veterinary assistant living in Nepean, ON - I chose the corporate life and I miss being surrounded by fur balls :) I have two of my own who are well socialized and are always welcoming of another friend. Your pup will enjoy a fenced backyard, frequent potty breaks, and a pack walk or single walk (if preferred by the owner). I am comfortable providing medications. Additionally, after 7 years of owning a rambunctious husky/malamute my house is very well puppy proofed for even the most devious. While boarding, I will be at home at all times therefore your dog does not necessarily need to be crate trained. Mine choose to sleep in their crates (door open) however they also take over my bed as well.
