I’ve been caring for animals most of my life. We have two dogs - one large unknown mix, and a mini Australian Shepherd. Both get along well with other dogs and cats. We have a cat that comes and goes, but gets along with dogs. Our yard is medium sized but fully fenced. Our home has two staircases that my dogs enjoy running up and down. We have two 3 year old children, so kid-friendly is a must! There’s almost always going to be someone home, so your dog won’t be alone if you don’t want them to be. You can provide your own crate, or I have a couple of large crates that we can use. We can provide water and food dishes, you just bring the food :)
