I love dogs and feel that dogs are a part of our family. I have a small mixed breed (rescue) dog of my own. I am home most weekdays and some weekends. I have extensive experience with dogs of all types and ages. Having grown up with and owned my own dogs I have used my experience to volunteer with a local rescue, saving lives one pup at a time. In the last year I have been the "foster mom" to 5 rescue Dogs (so far!) Typically they are with me 4-6 weeks while we work to find them their forever home. I live downtown Carpinteria near beach and parks. My house is three bedroom two bathrooms with a fenced in patio area. My dog loves to lay out there on her bed in the sunshine. I can help with puppy training and have a lot of experience with off leash training. I look forward to meeting your dog!
