I personally own a male shih-tzu. He's five years old and I had him since he was four months. He's so sweet and spoiled.He bring tons of happiness to my home. He gets nothing but the best and so will your dog. I'll give your dog the love and care that he or she deserves. I'm a big dog lover so you never have to worry about if your dog is in danger. I'll never let anything happen to your furry friend/family. I'm available from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Your dog is in good hands with me. I'm available to care for small and medium size dogs. Since I live in a apartment those sizes are more ideal for me to better care for your friend.
