Before having children, my husband and I fostered over 30 dogs for different rescues over a five year period. Additionally, I grew up with dogs my entire life and we had two dogs of our own who both just passed away a couple of years ago. That said, we are well set up for temporary canine guests. We love to play and cuddle with the dogs and are not particular about dogs being on furniture or in certain areas of the home. Our dogs were always crate trained, but a well-behaved guest in our home would not need to be. I work close to home with decent flexibility l. We have 2 daughters, ages 7 and 4, who love dogs. Kid-friendly pets only please! Our older daughter is disabled and doesn’t do great with dogs that bark a lot though (normal barking at squirrels or to go out is fine!). We'd be happy to help care for your pup!
