I'm a former trustee of a nonprofit "boxer dog" rescue (NJBR) it's been some time. However I am familiar with large breeds including deaf dogs.  I also enjoy cat sitting for by best friends cats in FLORIDA they would be Benadryl (Benny cat) and Allegra (Ally cat) or both called kits.  I had for many years, when in lived in the burbs, 5 dogs at one time. 3 boxers (one that I saved from a gas chamber in GA I named her hope) A chow/shep mix I rescued from the NJ TPK (Tyler), and a def Dogo Argentino rescued from a kill shelter in NJ.  he never knew his name but because he was pure white I named him polor.. ugh who was also food aggressive.  So I'm familiar with many types of dogs and behavioral issues. Including a good friends Chihuahua/Jack mix Charlie. His auntie (me) gabs him when he needs fun time and fetches.  I'm also available for SHORT term boarding...yeah pups would sleep in my bed but if that's not the preference I would be respectful of that....just supply a dog bed.  I will ensure in my care your fur baby makes wonderful memories "foot prints".
