I grew up with a shih zu-maltese and love working with small dogs. I have experience with basic training and have a big fenced yard to play in. I also have a sweet dog of my own who would love to play if your dog is wanting to. I plan on getting a small dog in the future but for now will love your sweet baby. I am home most of the day and would love to have a little buddy to accompany me around the house and just be apart of the family during their stay. Our home is a busy one where there will be lots to do inside and outside as well as walks around the neighborhood. If you are looking for someone to love and care for you dog during their stay and just have them be apart of the family, who loves children and playing, our home is perfect for your dog.
