I have grown up with dogs my whole life - difficult ones, at that! As a graduate student, I cannot afford my own dog right now, so am looking to give all of my attention to your fur baby! I currently have a 150+ lb Great Dane/Coonhound mix at home with my parents who has been a troublemaker since day one. I have learned to accommodate fears, habits, or quirks by raising him. Rain, thunder, fireworks, other dogs, people, etc.... I am an American Red Cross CPR for the Professional Rescuer certified Instructor in a health-based profession. I live in a quiet apartment complex with my boyfriend (another dog lover!). There is green space all around, a school across the street, and a small dog run next door. I am a huge lover of all breeds. I am flexible and willing to make accommodations for your pet.
