I recently moved to Bend (October, 2018) from South Georgia. I was raised to have a respect for all life, and will exercise that trait while caring for your dog(s). I have owned mostly small lap dogs most of my life, but have had plenty of exposure to larger breeds, as well. My house does have a fenced in yard; it will provide plenty of space for your four-legged friend to stretch his/her legs. Balls and ropes will be present for playing, however, you are more than welcome to send your dog's personal toys with them. Frequent potty breaks will be provided, especially for the younger pups (under 1 year old). Medications that your dog may need administered to them is acceptable, as well. I do ask that you provide veterinary instructions printed from your vet's office for these cases.
