Need to know of any allergies. We keep a clean-eating household (dogs do not get human food, dog treats are typically grain-free, high-protein, etc), so can easily accommodate for any special dietary needs. Need to know quirks. You know what I mean. That weird thing your dog always does whenever (doorbell rings, you leave the room, garage door opens, other dogs walk by, etc) happens. It isn't going to change much, but being forewarned is being forearmed. Whether or not they can be trusted alone. Whether or not they can be trusted with food on the table/counters, whether or not they can be trusted with garbage cans, etc. No breed preferences!

My house itself is overflowing with dog toys, as I can't help but spoil Shandy with Barkboxes. She is an avid "fetcher" of anything that can be thrown, so if that is up your dog's alley, they can race each other in the back yard for as long as my arm holds up throwing! The neighborhood I live in is large, with a number of miles of quiet roads to walk on. I also have easy transportation in my Jeep (equipped with hammock for safety and comfort!) and can easily get to Voice of America Park, Keehner Park (swimming available too!), Wetlands Park and Liberty Park. Voice of America also has a dog park that we can access, should your dog prefer some freedom to roam and sniff! I am very active myself, so depending on the activity level of your dog, can walk or run to their heart's content. Just let me know if they have any health restrictions and what your goals are for them! Otherwise, because I work from home, your pup will rarely be left alone (except trips to the gym or store), and we love a good long snuggle in the evening before bedtime.
