I have always had animals in my life. When I was a little girl I had a dog, a Guinea pig, a cat and parakeet. When I was a teenager, my parents got a poodle that was a rescue. I helped her to get over her nervousness and to be a happy member of the family. Now I have a very active very smart Aussie doodle, Dakota, who is 2 years old and loves all dogs, all cats and all people; he gets along with everybody. I was helping my daughter with her doggy daycare often and she would have some large young dogs and some older dogs who were not active. Some dogs needed medication and had a really hard time moving around. Dakota was great with all of them including my daughters 13 yr old Shih Tzu. I have a very large full-enclosed fenced yard that provides lots of play time. We have lots of dog toys. Whether your dog is young and playful or needs quiet care I believe your dog will enjoy my loving doggy day care home.
