I have had dogs as pets for almost my whole life. I rescued my border collie/ German Shepherd mix, Jessie, when she was just a few weeks old and she was a best friend to me for 20 years. I trained her, walked her daily, and cared for her throughout her whole life. She needed medication in her later years so I do have experience with giving meds and caring for older dogs in general. My parents currently have two puppies that I help train whenever I am home as well. I love all breeds of dogs and have never had a bad experience with any particular breed. I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter. I walked the dogs there & played with them individually. I would love to be able to do the same for your pets and provide you with peace of mind knowing they will be well cared for.
