My fiancee and I are huge dog people. We have a very cute English cream golden retriever in our house at all times. She enjoys making friends with other dogs. So your dog will have company! We live on the first floor of a cute little row house in Capitol Hill. Our home has a nice fenced in back yard that your dog would be able to roam around in. We never leave dogs unattended in our back yard. We also try to walk our dog at least twice per day and often go on long walks. But we would obviously tailor a schedule to fit the needs and capabilities of your furry friend. We are often at home for much of the weekend, so can give your lovely dog the care he or she deserves.
