I love animals, they have unique personalities. I have room for them to enjoy, rather than be in a cage. I have a decent un-fenced area for them to go potty, get fresh air. I can walk them to a park nearby to play. I am available all days of the week, and can work with weekends. I use the bus to get around, so if i am doing check-ins, i am limited to bus times (6am-8pm). Dogs would need to get along with kids/cats. Large living space for room to relax. My son is friendly with all animals, we have worked hard on this. There is also a dog run in the area i live, its a great spot for short run off the leash.
