I have had dogs for my entire life. I now have a cat too! My Jack Russell mix of 17 years recently passed away and I rescued Kallie who is the sweetest girl. She loves everyone! While I do work a lot, being in the education field allows me to be home on weekends and vacations. All of my animals are treated like my babies. If I had the room, I'd have a houseful of animals, but for now, I'll settle for visitors! I walk and take care of my neighbors dogs whenever they need me and I'd love to have playmates for my own dog at times. I go on several walks throughout the day and just love all animals. Your dog would be in great hands with me!
