I have had the pleasure of owning 2 wonderful fur babies who lived to be 18 years old each, love and care is what is needed to ensure your babies are healthy and happy. I take care of dogs as though they were my child, no dog should be treated poorly by anyone. Older dogs need more understanding and guidance and younger dogs need activity to keep them from being bored. Every dog has a unique personality that should be evaluated and cared for as required. Placing your dog in the care of someone else is a difficult thing and trust is important for the peace of mind for the owner and the pet as well. Our pets are our family and should be treated as such.
