I get along with all kinds of animals. I like walking so taking walks is beneficial to both me & your dog. I have a young dog that is very friendly & plays all the time. So finding friends for him to play with will be healthy for him. He has been around other animals since he was born. I have a cat he likes to play with. I also own chickens & 2 goats that he wants to be around. I haven't had the experience in caring for a special needs dog or a senior dog but I am willing to learn. I'm not involved in any organization. I am flexible & able to learn to better know your pet & hope he/she will enjoy their stay.
