Hello I am an avid animal lover/rescuer. With 40+ years of experience in caring for a multitude of different species of pets. I have a free range style and will only use crates if that is your preference but will typically leave the door unlocked for freedom of entry. I have an extremely passive and playful Heeler/Lab mix who plays well with all breeds he has been introduced to thus far.I have 3 outdoor cats and 2 indoor cats;one is deaf and a bit dented but she leaves everyone be and just requests the same please no cat aggressive dogs.I also have 2 children ages 7 & 15 they are both great with animals (that are not aggressive!). Scheduled Day walks will be one on one,walks scheduled after 3:00 will include my young daughter.
