I grewup on a 160 acre ranch in Montana. I have been caring for animals of all sizes from cats to horses and cows, all of my life. My husband and I currently have a rescue dog of our own, Shasta. I am very comfortable in many situations and can administer medicine. I also have volunteered at animal shelters for the last several years. I work from home and have a large back yard - lots of room to play and plenty of potty breaks! Our back yard has a 5' fence so no escaping. Almost a 1/4 of an acre that is all shaded for lots of afternoon play. Our dog Shasta is very friendly and still a playful puppy. Safe neighborhood for walks. I work from home - so your dog will get lots of potty breaks through the day. I also make delicious puppy popcicles to keep them cool on hot Austin days.
