I love dogs and they love me. Our Border Collies Bandit and Beau have passed and so did our Belgian Tervuren named Cougar. They were all adopted at roughly age three. The Border Collies both lived to 17 years of age but Cougar died at eight because of bone cancer. I love dogs but will never have one of my own, can't take any more loss. I'd LOVE to love and care for your best friends! We know that dogs are infinitely better than people and should be cared for very well and loved. Your dog will have full access to a large fenced yard where he/she can safely play and have full access to our entire dog-safe home. All of my dogs were escape artists and I know how to prevent that 100%, they taught me well. I will keep your dog safe and happy with the proper treats and diet you specify, no deviations whatsoever. He or she will be walked to your specifications and done so in a safe manner. Johann
