My family used rescue dogs for the collie club so we have always had many dogs in the household and years of experience working with them. I also work from home, so the dog will have someone present all day to care and make sure they receive the appropriate care. I currently have a 6 year old beagle that loves to play and two cats that will basically ignore any other dog. I have two teenage boys to assist with the care who are 12 and 14 who would also love the opportunity to care for your dog. Thanks for reading.
