Dogs must get along with other dogs. My Mojo (puggle) passed away on January 2nd 2022, at almost 15. He spent his entire life with us in our home. Given our love for travel we've decided to care for dogs in our home for friends and family rather than adopting. We didn't think it would be fair if we were to bring a dog into our home full time with being gone so much. Having said that we do have a German Shepard friend that now frequently stays with us when we are home. Although we have a small yard, we love taking walks, going to dog parks or playing inside. In addition to our German Shepard visitor (he's 6 and practically lives here some weeks), we do take up to 2 dogs at once but always communicate/ask both families before doing so. I have experience with special diets, allergy restrictions, oral medications, leg braces, a variety of harnesses, seizures and anxiety. For extra anxious dogs we keep the blinds closed and noise levels lower to help calm them (and of course lots of love and pets). My house is a ranch but does have 2-3 stairs on the porch to get in/out but we can assist if needed. Dogs must be free of fleas/ticks and other contagious diseases as well as being potty trained (willing to work with puppies on a case-by-case basis). No aggressive dogs and must get along with other dogs. I do work full time outside the home so Monday-Friday dogs will be left home alone from 8AM until 6PM. Most days one of my 17 year-old twins will be home around 3:30PM to let the dog out as well. I live with my twin 17 year-olds that love pets as much as I do.
