I have been around dogs my whole life. I had a "mutt" and a shepherd growing up and had a yellow lab, Toby and a mastiff named Adi as an adult. Adi passed away from Lymphoma when she was 7 years old, and we cared for her through that process for about 6 months. Toby, my lab, is 13 years old but does not live with me full time. Simply put, I love dogs and have always treated them as members of the family and because I currently don't have any dogs at home, and miss them terribly, I thought Rover might be a nice way for me to still interact with dogs. I am available most evenings/nights Monday-Friday and am available days/nights on the weekends.
