I own a three year old Pitt/Boxer that we adopted from the shelter as a pup. His name is Dexter and he is super friendly. I adore big dogs and especially dogs who get bad reputations (but am willing to take care of any size dog). I am extremely patient and dogs seems to enjoy my calm personality. Having grown up in a rural area, animals are like therapy to me. Caring for your animal will be a way for me to enjoy my summers and make a little extra money to help supplement my teacher income. Animals provide the relaxation I need when I am not working with kids. I will be primarily available during the summer but can help out on weekends during the school year.
