I’ve raised a few dogs, one is now a super dog who rehabilitates dogs who were said to be “lost causes”. Anyways she’s thriving at a BCSPCA and the manager of that branch can vouche. I live in James Bay so Ed and I are always walking, usually to the beach and up and down Dallas Road. Anyways my dog Ed is an older bulldog, lazy, stubborn and super cool, he’s good with all dogs but we would have to meet in a park and go for a walk but he can be very paternal once he deems a dog “acceptable”, sounds weird but it is what it is. I have a decent sized apartment for dogs who are a bit more mellow, furniture is ok but it is an apartment and I work 8am-3pm Monday to Friday, I sometimes get home to say hi, but a farm dog may not thrive here. As for weekends, Ed and I do everything together and we love taking friends with, or just relaxing, depending. Your dog should have all their shots and anti tick meds. I can also crate train, that’s how I’ve always raised dogs and can get out of work occasionally to check up or we can set up a camera. Transparency is key, chemistry is essential but I do well with taking care of doggos with Ed under the right circumstances. My schedule is flexible and if there’s anything else you need to know just ask! We love companions here, Ed loves cats but cats don’t like him so if your cat is used to big goofballs it could work.
