Since only a child, I have been exposed to all types of animals- my favorites being dogs of course! I grew up with all types of breeds: mutts, terriers, shepherds, pits, retrievers...you name it! Although currently, I have a 73-pound Pit/Shepherd/Chow-Mix, Rusty and treat him just like family (if not better...haha). Alongside Rusty, my boyfriend and I foster shelter dogs on an as-needed-basis until adoption and make sure each one of them gets the proper care they need (some of which come with special needs). I understand the importance of security while away from your pet- wanting to make sure they are: safe, well-cared for and loved... Each time I'm off on a weekend trip, it's important that Rusty feels safe at home with whomever cares for him. Therefore, I can provide just that security for you and your pet.
