I have had a dog in my life for the past 30 years. At one time, two Poms & a Shepherd bigger than me. My children say my dog comes first & sometimes I agree. I will give your pet the same attention! I will/can walk, run or just sit with your dog. I am home all day so my time is very flexible. Please ask any and all questions you may have-I understand this a family member & your choice is not an easy one. My last three dogs have been rescues & had special needs. I understand if extra care is needed. I am very patient & have dealt with blindness, seizures, inability to climb steps & hearing impaired. Thank you for consideration.
