Dogs have always been a part of the family. I don't have my own because I want to be able to treat them like a child and don't feel I can afford to provide for them in the way I would like to at this time. My first dog was a Doberman-Rottweiler mix. Throughout my childhood I've had a Rat Terrier, Pitbull, French Bulldog, and Airedale, the last 3 still reside with my parents and the other 2 passed. I'm interested in caring for other people's dogs because dogs give incomparable love and affection and I really miss that bond and having one around. I have experience caring for the following: Great Dane, Airedale, Trained Hunting dogs (German Short Hair), French Bulldog, Terriers, Lab, Chichuahua, Maltese.
