Running Paws

I am an animal lover and especially love dogs. I have been rescuing greyhounds since 1997 and have been involved in greyhound advocacy for the same number of years. I treat all dogs that have been in my home as if they are my own. My dog, Emmett, loves all his "fur-friends" that visit and welcomes them with open paws. We do daily walks and play as little or as much as your pup wants. I do work so am not home all day, but am able to go home as needed to let the dogs out. II am able to administer meds as needed and have cared for several senior dogs with special needs. I do my best to be flexible with all arrangements so that it works best for all parties involved.

Julie and Ari got along great. So did Julie's dog Ernie. Julie was very able to handle our timid dog's special care and meds. Very affectionate w Ari, and sent pictures of Ari's daily life which showed a relaxed dog. She was also accommodating to our schedule needs which changed before the boarding. I felt comfortable w Ari in Julie's care and will not hesitate to hire her again.

I always appreciate knowing any special needs or care that your dog may need in advance so I can provide the best care possible. Additionally it is helpful to know of any behaviors that may need specific or special attention.
