I have a fully fenced backyard with a corgi that loves to play with other dogs. My chickens are always in their run and can provide new smells for your pup. My kitty Willow is comfortable around dogs but will probably stay hidden. My children also love dogs and know how treat every new dog with respect and kindness. I have 24/7 access to cool running water through a pet water fountain in my home and can tailor feeding to fit your pups needs. In this Georgia heat, I never leave my pets outside for too long and let them come inside and cool off. If we are outside, I also have a doggy pool that my corgi loves to splash and catch bubbles in.
