When I was born my parents had one dog, that slowly and steadily increased until I was in high school and we had 11 dogs at one point! So I have had my fair share of caring for all different breeds and sizes as well as ages and personalities. As an adult my husband and I have had six dogs (3 large and # small) but currently only have the 3 small dogs (miniature pinschers). I have had experience caring for older dogs as well as dogs with special needs, for instance dogs recovering from surgery including back surgery and even dogs with issues such as lupus and pancreatitis. I have always treated dogs like members of the family and I will treat yours with the same love and care that I treat my own. FYI: *For boarding services: my dogs have all their vaccinations so I will require at least proof of rabies.
