Since the age of 14, I've had a dog (or at times, dogs). I was given the responsibility to care for a Labrador puppy at that age (crate train, house break, puppy school) and I loved every minute. Dogs aren't just pets; they are family. I've since lost her and my other Labrador, but now have the sweetest 9lb mini poodle mix that I rescued. Dogs have always been a part of my life. As a full time teacher of 11 years, I can assure you that your dog is being cared for by a responsible adult. I will keep you updated during your dog's stay with pictures and texts! I promise to care for yours as if it were my own. I look forward to hosting your dog!
