I work with a very flexible schedule from home and my girl friend wants to even be more active and start to take dogs on walks before she goes work, we live an active lifestyle and would enjoy playing with dogs, we figured this would be a good way to spend time with new furry friends and maybe find the perfect type we would like to get ourselves. We have a large yard, 3/4 fenced yard and the ability to hook up a running line with shade . I had a dog for years growing up and rescued a street dog in Mexico who lived to be 10 years old. A dog will feel loved and comfortable in our home for any length of stay.
