My husband and I have two friendly dogs who love to play. We have both had dogs almost our whole lives. We've taken care of all ages, from newborn puppies to older dogs. Our backyard is completely fenced in with plenty of toys and sticks to play with. Dogs will be allowed full access to our heated laundry room, the attached garage, and back yard at all times via doggy doors. If you feel that your dog will try to escape, this is probably not the place for him/her. I am home part time and will check in on the dogs at least every five hours (keep in mind they will be able to go potty outside anytime). I enjoy walking dogs around safe neighborhoods. My husband and I love dogs and will make sure your dog has a wonderful time at our home.
