I currently have 2 dogs (collies) and 2 cats. We adopted all 4 from a local animal shelter. My collies have a significant amount of anxiety because of their past. I am very compassionate with them and help them through the anxiety as well as providing them with lots of love and comfort. I also boarded a border collie at my home for up to 9 months. I appreciate getting to spend time with animals and learn all the different personalities. Playing fetch and tug are some of my favorite activities as well as cuddling with those cuddle bugs. I am also used to the dog and cat dynamic and can handle the crazy things that can happen from time to time. Since I have collies, I know the amount of work it takes to keep them groomed and looking good. I also understand the energy they have and can adapt to dogs energy level easily.
