We have 2 dogs that we rescued, our 'boys', and have fostered through Lucky Lab Rescue. Our weekends are filled with fun times outside, lots of walks and hikes, and playgroups for the bunch! Your pup will be cared for like it's a member of the family - fitting right in with our duck tolling retriever and labradane. The fenced in back yard makes it easy to run and play for the whole group. Our neighborhood is in the city, but with a suburb feel so you can rest assured they are safe at our home and out on walks! We (Will and Grace) have both grown up with dogs, so their care and well-being is foremost in our lives. Since buying our house last year, we've working with Lucky Lab Rescue fostering a few dogs, getting them out of bad situations. Lucky for us though - we found our newest dog Lincoln from that experience! I guess you could call us 'Failed Foster Parents' because we adopted him full time! During the week, we both work full time in Cambridge, so it would be best for your dog(s) to only be with us on the weekends. Friday late afternoon to Sunday would be ideal if you're going away for the weekend. Holidays and long weekends we're also home - so that would be ok too! When we're home we're with our dogs 100% of the time. We have a large fenced in back yard, and a huge deck where we can sit out and play with the dogs. Fetch, tug of war, even 'naptime in the sun' are activities that are common at our house. We have a 'dogproof' couch (sunbrella fabric) and do allow pets to sit with us, and some even to sleep in our bed at night. If you prefer us to enforce different rules, that's no problem just let us know!! Harvey and Lincoln absolutely love to have friends over, and I'm sure your dog will fit right in to our pack!!
