I recently loss my two Bichon's within six months of each other. They were our constant companions for 14 years. We feel such a loss. I can provide loving care for a small low shedding dog in my home. There are parks nearby. I am very protective and concerned for the welfare of animals. I am open to overnight stays or sitting if you are away for short vacations. There are no other pets in my household at this time. Just me and my husband who is also a dog lover.
