I am a 42 year old married woman of 3 teenagers (2 18yr olds and 1 16yr old). I have a gentle Pyrenees Shepard in the home and an outdoor cat that is accustomed to strange animals in and out of the home. I have owned and cared for many dogs, cats, fish, mice, gerbils, and pigs (pot bellied, in house pets). My children were magnets for any and all creatures great and small, and they brought them all home! I have always wanted to run a shelter/boarding house for animals and this seems the time to do that. If this grows enough, I am willing to relocate to a country setting more conducive to housing large quantities of all kinds of animals for extended periods of time.
