I have lived with and loved dogs my entire life. I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality, and go at their pace when getting to know a new dog. I have three dogs of my own, plus my sister's two dogs who I love completely. They are the most spoiled dogs on earth, as they should be. I volunteer at a local shelter, and have transported dogs for different rescue groups. I once drove into Detroit in the middle of the night to rescue a mama pit bull and her four puppies, who were in bad shape, and drove them to a rescue group in Auburn Hills. I let the dogs set the pace when I meet a new dog. It's all about their comfort. When meeting the dogs of one of my current clients, I was told that Maddie is very skittish, and most likely will stay away from me. Within five minutes of our first meeting, Maddie was sitting on my foot, and I was petting her with both hands.
