Hello, we love to care for animals. We love the snuggling and inspiration animals give to whomever is around them. I was raised with all sorts of animals when I lived in Africa. I always had an animal growing up. Currently, where we live it is not ideal for a long term commitment for owning pets. Our family of 5 live vicariously through helping folks like you in need of help for your pet in a short term stay. One day I dream of a huge farm like yard with animals I have rescued and hoping for a horse too. Our boys are young but love dogs and get excited to care for the next furry friend. We live upstairs and can be difficult for older dogs with health issues. Love first and Safety second!
