We’re ready to play!

We only take dogs up to 30lbs due to my daughter being afraid of most bigger dogs despite us having one of our own. We will give consideration to dogs over that weight if we feel it’s a good fit.

Holly always is excited to go visit Melissa, the kids, and Lincoln. I never worry about her when she is there. Melissa makes sure that she gets her medicine when needed and Holly gets lots of love from the whole family.

Holly has a new friend in Willow. I’m so glad she had the opportunity to socialize with another doggie friend. Melissa is great and I feel safe with Holly there!

Pets

A typical day

We can go on walks or runs through our neighborhood. We also live on a half acre lot with space to play and directly across from a soccer field where the dogs can run and play fetch. My kids love animals as well. I have a 14 year old son and 3 year old daughter.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Melissa can host up to 2 pets per night
My preference is that dogs must be good with children and not display any food aggression. I will feed your dogs separately from mine to ensure that they don’t take each others food.
