My children and I love animals. I have had cats my whole life; my kids and I have had cats for over 6 years and have been fostering dogs/puppies for 4 years. I am a teacher and am home all day during the summer. I have a large fenced in yard. We love walking dogs and loving up on them. The dogs would allowed on furniture in the basement, not on the main floor. We have other dogs in the neighborhood available for play dates as well. We have fostered puppies and trained them to sit, and shake. My children and I love animals and will take care of your pet like it is our own. We will take your dog on walks as well as play with them frequently. They will be allowed on the beds, but that is your choice. Crate trained is preferred, but not necessary. Our closed off, finished basement is pet friendly.
