My love for animals seems to com thru to them and most take to me easily. I have been around animals most of my life, horses, dogs, cats. From 2004 until now I have participated in the rescue of stray and feral cats. I served as member of the K9 corps in the army, so I have trained dogs for tracking and protection work. I've owned several dogs, Shepard's, Springers, and a variety of cross breeds. I do not have a dog currently but I do cats staying with me so boarding would be difficult for your full grown dog. I would consider puppies particularly if they can be caged at night. Give me a call if you would like more information. Thank you, Louis
