Fostered 11 dogs with my local animal rescue groups. While the fosters were under my care, I would work on basic training and making sure I understood them so I could find them the right home. I have had multiple animals (horses,cats,sheep,goats,mules, rabbits, chickens, you get the picture. ) my whole life. Grew up with puppies being born multiple times a year. I currently have a 100lb lab mix and a black cat. So I'm used to the big dog that things he weights 7 lbs.
