I am an outdoor enthusiast and go hiking frequently. I love to have a dog as a companion for walking and hiking. I am very mindful, careful to detail, and love all breeds of dogs. I work from home some weeks so can be home full time if necessary. I have previous experience owning dogs and assisting with border collie fostering. I have a large home with a fenced in backyard on 1 acre. I am a firefighter and strong enough to handle big dogs. I prefer to care for 1 dog at a time but would consider more than one if they are part of the same family. Not cats, I am definitely a dog person. no other animals in my home at this time.
