Background: I began walking dogs at no-kill shelters in Chicago and continued doing that when I moved to MN in 1999. My husband and I have adopted a total of 6 dogs from the HSUS over the past 15 years. My current pack of three range in age from 4 years - 8 years old. Our oldest dog lived to be almost 17 - a great dane, chesapeake bay retriever mix! From these pups, I have learned how vital a daily walk and play is- for both mind and body! Providing this opportunity for your pup has been one of the great joys of my life. I have a special fondness for senior dogs, though I love all dogs, of course! The breeds we have adopted include Great Dane/Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix, Sheltie/Golden retriever mix, Blue Heeler/Black Lab mix, Blue Heeler/Italian greyhound mix, Spaniel mix, & Catahoula! I can’t wait to meet you 😁 My work-style: Please note, in order to spend more time with my family, I tend to be off the grid between 8PM and 8AM. I do not expect you to match your work-style to mine. Please feel free to email at a time that is convenient to you, but realize that I will probably respond within the hours of 8AM and 8PM!
