Hi, I am a former nurse of 23 years. I've had all kinds of animals (pet rats, horses, sheep, cats, bunnies, all breeds of dogs, fish) in my lifetime and have loved every single one. I was raised on a active farm in Iowa and involved in 4H growing up. Breeds of dogs I've personally had ranged from shitzu, German shepherd, chow, Rottweiler, and Springer spaniel. If requesting boarding at my home, I live in a single story home. I have a very expansive yard, for the buddies to roam and let off some steam. I currently DO NOT have a fenced yard. We just moved from Oregon and are working on that. I am widely flexible to any arrangements needed for your precious loved ones. If medication or injections are required, I have no problem with that.
