Loving home for dogs & fosters

Pet care experience

My husband and I have cared for dogs for a combined total of 30 years. We are passionate for our four-legged family members, active members of the rescue community and recently became fosters to a local rescue organization. We have a resident pup (13-year-old JRT/beagle mix) and cat (8-year-old Manx) and both receive the same amount of TLC and dedication as our 14-year-old daughter. As fosters for Secondhand Hounds, we've had the opportunity to work with dogs of varying personalities. We've cared for dogs with anxiety, nervousness and nursed one of our favorites back to health after a lengthy surgery. We have experience giving oral medications, and can administer injections of medicine. Families can rest assured that any pup that enters our home is given the royal treatment, loads of love and lots of TLC.

Christina and her husband were my loved dog's foster family for two months. They took good care of her and loved her. How do i know that? Well my dog came to live with us and she is very calm, and trained. Whatever Christina and her family did to help my dog was with love because we can see it in our dogs behavior. Also, my family just went on Spring Break and we asked Christina and her husband if they could watch our dog since she already knew them, Christina said yes right away and she kept sending us updates, which she asked us if we would like to have updates. She is a true pet lover and she is knowledgeable about dogs and cats. She will be a great Rover member.

Christina and her husband Dave are such caring and kind animal people! Not only do they have two sweet pets of their own (a dog a very tolerant cat who LOVES other dogs), they often open their hearts and home to foster animals through a local Minneapolis rescue. Their experience with crate training, potty training and getting pets acclimated to new surroundings has been proven successful many times over, and their love and patience for these animals only doubles their qualifications for pet care taking. Anyone who chooses Christina and Dave to take care of pets will be so happy they did!

Information Christina K. would like to know about your pet

Since we do have a cat and dog, we do ask that they are dog and cat friendly. Our oldest dog is perfectly fine minding his business, pals around with quieter dogs. Lots of energy/puppy like wouldn’t be the best fit.

A typical day

We have a fairy large fenced yard that your dog will enjoy, always with supervision. We also live near many walking trails for additional exercise.
