I've owned / been around dogs my whole life and recently got out of the Army and would like a dog for myself but am busy most of the time and this would help me with all the time I missed out on being around dogs, I've had an Italian Greyhound, a Chihuahua, 2 Pomeranians, a collie/ Bassett hound mix, a shark pei and a beagle. Being in the military didn't allow me to have a dog living on post so I definitely missed out on a lot and don't currently own one because I work all week long and on some weekends but definitely miss being around dogs. I'm very active, I work out every day so I would be a great match for all the energetic dogs out there!! Thank you for your consideration.
