I have had dogs my whole life, a GSD, a pitbull mut, a chow mut, cats, rats, birds, sugar gliders, fish. I just love animals. Especially large dogs, I have an almost-2-year-old GSD right now. He loves getting his energy out playing with other dogs! He can be a little intimidating when you first meet him because of his size and desire to protect. But he has never been aggressive, just has a big bark! He just gets really excited and takes a minute to relax upon first meet. I am a stay at home mom to a kindergartener, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Our yard is very small, basically just a place for the pups to potty, connected with a doggy door. But we have fields nearby and dog parks that we can visit if allowed by pet owner. I hope you find a good match for you and your dog(s) and thank you for considering me!
