I have had two dogs as personal pets, which I simply adored. I have also dog sat for friends previously. I have recently fostered a dog from a local rescue center, which has now been adopted. This dog had severe anxiety issues, but we managed to ease them a little before he was adopted. I now volunteer at a local shelter looking after their dogs. I am a fairly active person so I can handle strong dogs. I haven't met a dog I didn't love!
