My husband and I have owned dogs our entire lives. We've both also volunteered at animal shelters and all of our pets have been adopted. Our pets are part of our family. Currently we have one dog, two cats and three chickens - so we are definitely looking to host dogs that play well with others! We have a large, fenced backyard with plenty of room to run. We like to take walks in the nearby hills (part of the GGNRA) during the day, but always make sure our animals are tucked in safely at night. Our dog, Etta, is extremely social and loves having other dogs around. Boo and Radley (our cats) are dog-lovers, as well, so dogs that are used to having cats around works well for us. And we live about four blocks from the beach, so walks to the seashore are also a definite possibility!
