I love all animals. I Usually will only take one dog at a time, maybe two or three if they are friendly and playful., (at times they may overlap) this way I can give more attention during their stay with us and I found that most dogs are more relaxed with out all the excitement! In the past I've had a hobby farm where I took in abused animals and nursed them back to health and helped them regain confidence in humans. I have a big backyard that is fenced in along with a big deck to bask in the sun. I enjoyed being around animals, they make me happy and they all have such different personalities. I have a dog that I love and can't imagine life without him. I believe dogs are much more sensitive and aware than we sometimes give them credit for. Every family is different how they would like their pets treated and I am open to snuggling with them in bed to keeping them in a kennel overnight. I also have a big kennel outside with 10 foot high walls if needed for your dog. The most important thing I feel is making sure your dog feels very comfortable. I have left my dog with people and I know it is kind of stressful and you can't help worrying. I will give your dog extra attention and love so they feel safe and secure with Their stay with us. I would want that for my dog!
