I have had dogs since I was a kid. I currently live with two wonderful rescues, Bella and Rufus. I have plenty of space of running and playing both inside and outside. There is a doggy door for access to the backyard if I am not home. I'm happy to help teach a dog how to use the door if they are uncomfortable. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on the couch or in bed. The more the merrier. There's a basket full of toys and always some healthy treats around. I enjoy discovering trails around the area and hopefully your pup is an adventurous type and will join me. Daily walks are a must with mine so yours will be enjoying lots of time outside.
