I grew up around dogs and cats. I'm very patient and caring, I have 2 dogs that love meeting new dogs, I also have cats and they don't mind other dogs as well. My dogs have food allergies and are on special diets, I also have a couple special needs cats, so I can handle any animal with any issue. I don't have a fenced yard, so any dog staying at my house will stay inside. We do have a walking trail and parks behind out house, we take our dogs for walks daily. I have a good size home and my animals have free run of the house and so will yours. I can't wait to take care of your furry family member. :)
