As far as I can remember, I've always been surrounded by dogs and cats, so it's a loooong love story and I'm +++ used to take care of them! Our dog, Betty, adorable shepherd out from a Romanian shelter, loves the company of her fellows and is always happy to have friends at home ;) We live right next to the Bois de la Cambre in a large house with a fenced garden of 15 acres. Besides the garden, we also walk the dogs in the woods. There is always someone at home: I am there most of the time and my kids have variable hours at the university, so your 4-legged companions will not often be alone! We ask that our residents to be in order of vaccinations and do not have fleas, for the safety of all :) If you wish, we can send you photos and videos of your animal during your absence, it's always nice to receive some news when away! Note that a prior meeting is required, to ensure that everyone gets along well! Please note that I have free-roaming chickens in the garden, so I don't take dogs with hunting instincts, sorry! And no large unneutered males either! Looking forward to meeting you very soon! Melody & co
