I have always have had dogs and cats. Our first pet was a cat named Tiger and a dog named Haji. I love horses to but no longer have a horse or the land. My wife has a service dog (Brody) that we have assisted in his training, We also have a little dog (Charlie) and of course my cat Munchkin. My wife is a retired Vet Tech and her love for animals has added to my caring for them. I am 63 years old and time has taught me patience with animals. I have always felt that there really are very few....bad...dogs. Most are dealing with new owners, the stress of new environments or other pets. I enjoy playing or sometimes just going for a nice walk. Some dogs need a little more care as they are dealing with stress and are not eating ....so you feed them by hand. My wife has gotten me used to working with medications, medicated baths and healthy, balanced foods. This would be a part time thing....in between other work and home responsibilities but I am sure I can fit you in. I am honest and have served over 35 years in the law enforcement community and 25 years in ministry, so you can feel safe with me in your home with your furry friends. And yes...I love cats too!
