I would love nothing more than to surround myself with your dog(s) while you're gone to provide the care he/she deserves. From a very young age, I wished for my own real dog every time I blew out the candles on my birthday cake or made a wish after throwing a coin into a fountain. My bookshelves overflowed with dog literature and I possessed many life-sized stuffed dogs. Animal Planet was easily my favorite TV network. When I was 10 years old, my dream came true. I finally brought my first dog, Rusty, home. Rusty lived for 16 happy years. Shortly after, my family adopted Cooper as a puppy, who is a Hurricane Maria rescue from Puerto Rico. Currently, I have a 45 lb. lab/hound mix, Hadley. She was rescued from The Delaware Humane Association (DHA). She's a spoiled one! I also have 9 chickens! I can assure you your dog will feel safe and sheltered with me, but most importantly, treated with love and patience. I understand dogs possess different temperaments and personalities as well as come from many different backgrounds. I will adapt to what your pet needs/wants. Dogs are family and my favorite animal in the world!
