I am a retired pet lover who feels that cats or dogs are best for the human soul. I have had cats and dogs in my life for 64 years. My first pet was my cat, Duffy, who lived 24 years. I have rescued all my pets and believe all animals should be loved and treated with love and care. My last pet was Duncan, a rescued Dachshund, who stole my heart when he was four. I lost him 1 year after my husband passed away. As a retiree, I have plenty of time to spend loving and caring for your pet. I live in a beautiful apartment building on the James River with trails for walking. At the building,we have 2 doggy parks .
