I've lived with dogs all my life and feel whole when I'm around them. I've also owned small pets such as hamsters, fish, and lizards (all of which I am comfortable caring for as well). I'm used to medium to large dogs, but love all sizes, shapes, and ages. My schedule is currently very flexible as I recently moved to Austin from Boston and am still job hunting. I'm very used to having multiple dogs around and handling those dynamics. My yard is not terribly big but it is fenced with room to wander a bit. There is also a nice bike/foot trail a short walk from my house that is great for taking dogs on that need a bit more exercise! I give dogs lots of attention and love and can't wait to meet lots of furry new friends!
