I've been around dogs all my life. I've had and cared for more dogs than I can remember. I've always been compassionate and caring to all dogs. I have a 14 year old daughter who also loves dogs. She is very excited to help care for all the dogs who are guests in our home. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention while visiting in our home. Give our home a try and your dog will be glad you did. FYI, I Live in Verrado ;)
