While you’re off on trips you can give your puppy the gift of road free living on the island of Pennock, a slice of heaven for dogs that enjoy the big outdoors and lots of hiking. I am self employed and work from home. I enjoy having dogs here and walking the beaches with them. Depending on the tides I walk one long walk a day and then multiple outdoor runarounds as I am usually working on outdoor projects. Typically I will meet you ahead of time with my dog Poppy. First off she will disgrace herself by barking and looking mean. She’s a street rescue from Guatemala and this is her defense mechanism... it never makes for a pretty start but she’s all bluster and has never harmed or been in a fight. After 5 minutes or so it’s all over and your puppy will be part of the pack. I am working hard on training this habit out of her but it’s unsettling right away and now you know. If we can allow them to meet off leash after the initial ‘I am a beast’ 5 minute introduction and they get to hang for a while then the drop off will be calmer and less stressful for both animals. I am a dog lover and will offer your dog the same love and care I share with my puppy. For locals I have used Dr Marna at Island to Island for care of my now gone dog Edo and 2 milking goats who are also now gone. She now takes good health care of Poppy. Pretty flexible with your requirements and will follow your preferences. I need time to sit and meet you and your pet ahead of time.
