I have had pets since i can even remember and i currently have a one year old spoiled little baby who i love immensely and is currently being trained to be a service dog. I have a fairly large house with a fairly large backyard (although it is not fenced) where he can run around and play. Oh! and yes he is allowed on our furniture of course and all around the house just like the rest of our family. I also often foster dogs that need a temporary home or sit dogs or other animals whos owners are busy working so i am pretty experienced and love being able go meet and spend my extra time with these amazing animals. Cant wait to meet yours!
