I grew up with dogs and we have owned dogs for 20+ years. We have had Leonbergers, a Mastiff, a Siberian Husky, a chihuahua and now we have a 13-pound rescue dog. He is 2 years old and very playful. I am home everyday all day as is my 12-year-old daughter who loves pets and my 15-year-old son. We take walks with our dog twice a day and there is a dog park in our neighborhood that we visit daily. We have a 13 pound rescue dog that is very playful and loves having playdates with other dogs. He is crated when we leave the house. Your dog will be walked twice a day and we have a large lot with a block wall. There is also a large grass dog park in our neighborhood. I work from home 3 days a week. We have two teens that also assist with pet care and are home all day. Our 12-year-old enjoys swimming with the dogs, playing fetch with them, and walking them. We have a large block wall yard. In August we will be installing pet-friendly turf with pet filler. We have a pool that the dogs are welcome to swim in. We always supervise the dogs in our yard.
