I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. My childhood dog lived to be 18, and I fully believe it was due to the dedication and care I provided her with.My husband and I work different shifts, so your fur baby will always have someone there to care for him/her. I have an extensive background with caring for animals.I have a two acre home, with a German Shepherd. He is well behaved ( attendee obidence classes), and gets along with other animals. I have one cat, he is 9 years old. He lives inside, and is not phased with other dogs or animals. I can provide references upon request. I hope to see you and your dog(s) soon. Thank you for your time.
