I've been around dogs since I was little. I still remember my fist dog, Lena, I was a mere 5 years and I still remember that lovely Beagle fondly. My house always had dogs, big and small. I've also had chickens and rabbits. You can say I grew up in an animal loving home. My first dog as an adult, Ofelia an Italian Greyhound, I got recently after moving out of my parents house when I was 26. She was with me through thick and thin for 15. She passed last year, and while I cannot currently get another dog there is nothing I would love more than to care for yours. I have also fostered and rescued dogs young and not so young.
