Growing up my family raised a guide dog for the blind. We had a whole slew of animals from hamsters, to birds, to bunnies, and finally my best friend a Cocker Spaniel puppy who I grew up taking care of. My husband grew up providing all the care for his German Shepherd and then had a lab-beagle mix in her later years. We love all dogs/animals and want to continue to teach our girls to love and care for animals. Our oldest girl gets so excited every time we have a new friend over to take care of. We are excited to meet your cute pet too! I am currently home with two kids so I have lots of time to play with and entertain. I am available basically any day any time. We do have our little baby and a toddler that is very gentle with animals and knows to stay away if need be. We have a fenced in yard with a four foot fence and no grass yet. We are working to landscape the yard. In the mean time it is primarily dirt while we finalize plans. Due to the fence size, if they are jumpers we can keep them on a leash when outside.
