Growing up there was never a time where there wasn't at least two or three dogs in my house. I have experience caring for large and small dogs, both male and female (akitas primarily, but also pit mixes and a chihuahua/pug mix). I do work a part-time job so that will affect availability but I am flexible with hours and don't often work all day. I love hiking and being outdoors so that would be a frequent activity done with him/her. There are many trails and hiking spots within half an hour of where I live so hopefully your dog enjoys car rides! I've played sports my entire life and still am playing, so keeping up with high energy dogs will not be an issue. **Note: I am a college student so i'm only available until August 18th!
