Derek C.'s Neighborhood

I had my German Shepherd 15 year.

Pet care experience

I brought home a German Shepherd puppy when he was 6 weeks old. I was with him for 15 good years. We went to dog park, dog beach, lakes and hiking a lot.

This is the 2nd time I have left my spoiled French Bulldog with Derek. I feel very confident that she is getting great care and I love the fact I get daily updates with pictures.
