I have a 1 year old terrier, german sheppard, aussie sheppard, chihuahua mix. For dogs staying over night: dogs MUST be able to get along with other dogs *I do own a cat that does not mind dogs* I love animals and have owned pets all my life! My dog loves other animals and will make a great playmate for any dogs needing a walk or a place to stay! I also have a spacious backyard for your dog to run around when they need extra exercise! Dogs are not required to be crate trained unless they cannot make it through the night without going to the bathroom. I am experienced in taking care of puppies as well as cats. Dogs need to be potty trained *with the exception of young puppies still training*
