I have been lucky enough to grow up with dogs my whole life along with raising my own. I've owned a grey-hound shepherd from birth, a cocker-spaniel along with her 5 pups from birth, a pit bull,sharpai,chow,shepherd mix from 8 weeks old. I have 2 years experience working with puppies in a pet store. (generally ages 8 weeks old) I have been a proud member of the ASPCA for 10 years. I treat the animals I care for as if they are my own, with a lot of love and patience. They are free to roam throughout my house, that includes relaxing on the couch for a cozy nap after a nice walk, and sleeping in the bed at night, especially if they need comfort or if they are scared of being in a strange place.Please keep in mind that although they will have plenty of freedom, I will always protect their safety. Every pup has there own unique personality. Some are more curious than others and they are all like children. Safety is always priority. I make sure they get plenty of exercise in and out of my yard with long walks and playtime. I have experience with all types of dogs of various ages. (special needs, such as elderly pups who have trouble walking well and need support to get about along with uncontrolled bowl movements.) I love taking care of young puppies and will work on their "potty" training during their stay with me. If you have lots of animal diversity in your home like mine, please know that I welcome all types of pets!! I have raised sugar gliders, birds, hamsters, cats, chameleons. There is no need to separate your pet family, They are welcome here as well. :)
