My fiancé and I both have experience with dogs. I grew up with a lab/collie mix and a black lab, and he grew up with schnauzers/terriers. A few months ago, we adopted our first dog together - Samson, a 16 month old feist hound mix. We are affectionate, loving, playful and consistent dog parents and would give the same care to your pup(s). We don't have a full backyard (a concrete patio) so we often take our dog on long walks or go to the dog park to give him more exercise. Paul is a resident at a hospital and will be working the night shift in January and February. I work the typical 8-5 schedule but can be available most mornings, evenings and weekends. Between the two of us, someone is home very often, and we will do our best to work around your schedule and needs.
