I've had dogs of my own since I was 3, I currently have a healer/pitbull mix who is an exceptionally trained service (therapy) dog. I have a large fenced backyard and hardwood floors making accidents less difficult to clean up. I live in a four bedroom house with my twin and two best friends, all of which love animals and intend on assisting with any services. Beans (my dog) can provide your animal with some company and plenty of exercise.
