Being an animal lover I have 50 plus years owning pets. I'm the person that you meet at a party that is connecting with family dog instead of the people. I have had experience as foster and rescue I've had experience with all ages of dogs and dogs with special needs. My home HAS gone to the dogs literally. There is no place off limits and they have one room that they can run and play that is empty. A doggie door that accommodates even large size and a nice privacy fenced back yard with lots of shade. The biggest problem you will have is picking up your dog and they want to stay. My dogs are my babies and yours will be like mine.
