I have never lived without a dog in my home. Currently have two dogs; Buster is 10 years old and Trixie is 6 years old. Both are rescues and have been with us since they were puppies. They love to play with other dogs and share their bones. We have a large fenced yard for play time or they can just enjoy the sunshine and nap away. I work form home so they will get attention through out the day too. Plenty of time between calls and emails for some attention like ear scratches and belly rubs. your pets will be treated like part of the family while they are here and kept safe with a locked fenced yard and plenty of room to roam around inside as well. If they prefer a private space just drop off their crate to sleep in.
