We love dogs. Dogs are an integral part of our lives and we treat them like family. We have a mini Aussie who likes to play with all dogs but is generally pretty calm and an older mutt who doesn’t have much energy to play anymore and mostly sleeps all day. Both are used to always having other dogs in the house, whether it's a foster dog, dog in training or pet sitting for friends. All dogs in our house sleep in our bedroom with us (we have 7 dog beds surrounding our own that they can choose from), they are never crated, and have access to the doggy door to the backyard all day. We take all dogs on multiple walks a day and both my husband and I work from home so they always have company. My husband worked for many years as a professional dog trainer at a kennel, training dogs in agility and behavior modification. He ran agility for 10+ years before we met and together we have trained 4 dogs to be diabetes alert dogs. We also actively foster dogs through Furry Friends Animal Rescue and have rescued around 150 dogs over the last decade, anywhere from 3lb to 90lb puppies to senior dogs. Through this organization we have experienced it all: rescuing pregnant moms who had their puppies at our house, rescuing feral dogs with demodectic mange and nursing them back to health, taking on the challenging dogs that shelter staff deemed unadoptable and turning them around... there is very little we haven't seen. And if we do run into situations that we haven't seen, I can always call my sister or my brother-in-law for advice, both of whom are vets. We have twin 7-year-old kids who love dogs as much as we do, so we always enjoy having other dogs over to cuddle with and be play mates for our personal dogs. We are relatively new to Rover but have been dog sitting for friends and families who adopted former foster dogs for over 10 years. So long as the dogs get along with kids and other dogs, we would love to host them.
