I have been around dogs since I was 5yrs old. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds. I have owned dogs since I was in college. Our last basset mix passed away from cancer a few years ago and our family misses having a dog in the house. We would love for my 4yr old to be able to love on some dogs. My husband and I are teachers and own one fat cat and two chickens (kept in a fenced in coop). We have a good sized fenced in yard for your dog to play in. We also live in a neighborhood with a number of walking paths to take your pup on long walks on. We miss the never ending love and joy you get from dogs and would love to provide loving care for your dog!
