We recently lost our Chocolate Lab of 11 years, Cocoa, to cancer. We are not ready to be owners yet because of grief, but we care for all our neighbors dogs when they go on vacation. The opportunity of watching our neighbor's dogs has helped us so much that we would love to do this hobby for income to help our children go on missions and to college. Our neighbors dog considers our home an extension of his home! Over Christmas and holiday breaks, we sometimes have up to three dogs to care for. We love to watch new puppies as well even though we are up 2-3 times a night to let them out for a potty break. Our home is clean and well cared for. We have a large fenced in yard with green grass and gardens. We also live in a dog loving community with parks and a dog park only 2 miles away. We adore every dog we care for as if they our own. Since we found out our daughter is allergic to dogs, we can only watch dogs who are hypoallergenic.
