I've always had pets in my home and my pets are excellent hosts. We've fostered with the animal shelter before for quite some time and everything went wonderfully each time. Ive cared for pups, seniors, sick, injured, and special needs dogs. Im a teacher so I am home full time during the summer and available. My daughter is 6 years old and very well mannered towards animals. She is away at camp througout the day. I do not keep cages (except by owner request) and if the animals need some cool down time, they have a room they can go to and roam as long as they'd like. I'm excellent with medications as well for sickness or injury. I am excellent at communication regarding dog needs and progress.
