I have always had dogs my whole life. From puppies on. I love how they show Thier personalities and believe they truly are part of the family. While my yard is not fenced in I do have an 8/10 caged area in the back. I will never let your dog outside unattended, We have 2 spare rooms and prefer dog be caged at night only. during the day I am home all day so your dog can roam free in the house.l I promise to care for your dog like one of my kids, we will play, cuddle and go for walks at least twice a day. I have a 2 1/2 yr old Australian shephard who absolutely loves having friends over. He needs some friends to play with! O
