We love dogs! My husband and I have always had dogs in our family, we believe they are not pets, they are family! I am retired so there is nothing pulling me away from the love and care of your dog. They will be treated like one of our own. Our yard is completely enclosed with a secure chain link fence, the yard has shade and is completely dog friendly with room to play and have fun. We have a two dachshunds, a black and tan (Jake) and a brindle (Willie) who greet new friends with barks and wags and they love sharing their home with friends, new ones and cherished old ones. We would love to have your dog(s) in our home where they be will loved and cared for. We know that leaving your dogs while you are away can be extremely difficult for both of you, so we want you to know they will be safe and spoiled with us.
