I've worked with dogs for over 25 years. I just love having them around. I have a huge fenced-in backyard where my 2 dogs, Red and Toad, would love to play with your canine friend. Your dog will experience a home away from home while they stay with me. I have administered meds both oral and injectable. I'm very conscious of food allergies and make very sure there are no problems. There are several veterinarians in the area including 3 emergency pet clinics. If anything does go wrong, your pet will be well taken care of. I've had dogs as old as 13 and as young as 4 months stay with us. I'm willing to board any breeds. Very small dogs may be a little intimidated by Red but he would never harm them. I have 3 cats so chasers need not apply.
