I grew up with puppies and dogs and pets (fish, mice, gerbils and cats). Owning a pet taught me responsibility of taking care of an animal. They are totally dependent on our care and love. We have a 1 year old Labradoodle who joined our home in January, 2018 who has instantly become a family member. She loves to give hugs when we arrive home and we welcome the attention. She is friendly and loves company; however, I can only accept non-shedding puppies or dogs in my home due to pet allergies, which applies to some family members, but not all. If I come to you, no worries. I have no pet allergies! I am looking forward to assisting with the care of your family member.
