I've raised dogs most of my life. I grew up in Hawaii on a large property, and has as many as nine dogs at one time. I live in a large apartment, one block away from a great park. Red Hook is a great neighborhood for dogs because there are so many parks, and even a doggy beach. I have a three year old English Field Spaniel named Zsa Zsa. She is extremely sweet, and gets along with everybody. She absolutely loves company and play buddies. She is spayed and up to date on all shots/vaccines. I can assure you I will provide safe and loving care for your pet- as I would want the same for mine. We hit the park everyday- join us!
