Ever since I was younger, my dad and I would take weekly car trips to the humane society. I would sit, play and just fall in love with every dog there. Unfortunately, growing up as a kid my mom was allergic to fur so we could not have a dog in the household. Looking back at my childhood I ended up with so many stuffed dogs because every year I would ask Santa for a dog. However, when my parents separated my step dad had a puppy and ever since then my life has felt complete. Shadow Bear (my amazing doggie) is a schnoodle which is a schnauzer and poodle mix. She has been by my side for about 9 1/2 years now. I could not imagine a day without her giving me so much joy in my life. Having her around has taught me many life responsibilities. She is like a little sister I never had and I truly would give up my life for her. Dogs and any other kinds of animals brings so much happiness and compassion into my life and this is why I joined Rover. I am currently living in a big, open and spacious apartment in downtown Middleton. I have this great apperciation for Madison in the summertime because there is so much to do outside. Since I have so much energy I like to burn it off outside. I enjoy waking up early in the morning to go on a nice brisk run/jog, love taking long walks by the lake to watch the ducks pass by, and relax/unwind from the day at the park near by. I truly would love to have a furry friend join me. Whether your dog likes to cuddle or not, I am the perfect fit for them. Also, with my arm strength I can throw a ball far or play a great game of tug a war. My favorite thing is when my mom scratches my head/back so I will be like my mom when your dog stays with me :) Madison has many pet friendly spots that I know your dog will love. I have a big heart & bubbly personality that I would love to share with you and your doggie. Being a huge animal lover, I truly can't wait to meet so many amazing dogs.
