Lifetime experience with dogs including 25+ rescue dogs. We like most dogs better than some people! We have both (my husband and me) grown up with dogs in our homes and can't imagine not having them in our lives. We call our 4 dogs "the kids"! Small dogs are allowed on the furniture and a few have even joined our 3 small ones in our bed. Our yard is fenced and secure and we like to play games and relax on our covered porch with our guests, we also have a fire pit to hang out in the evenings with our fur friends too. We hope you will consider making us part of your dog's extended family. Piper is our Shih-tzu, Cooper is our handicapped mini Poodle and Winnie is our Yorkie. We spend lots of time outdoors in good weather. We play games and have a little pool for dogs who want to wade. We play with the hose for those who like that too! When we have large and small dogs in our home we have separate areas where little ones can go to be away if they choose. This is my full time job and I love it! If I need to run an errand either my husband is here or dogs get crated for a very short time. I do not walk dogs in my care. I keep them safe in my yard and home where they are not exposed to unexpected situations that could stress them. I also only keep dogs under 60 lbs.
