We currently have Lucy a black lab that is 3. My husband & I have traveled once a year since we have been married. The hardest part of going on vacations is leaving our pup at a kennel. You can trust if you bring your dogs into our home they will be loved as one of our own. I have been known to pull over on the side of the road to help a lost dog. I have watched numerous friends & family members dogs as they know they are loved here. I currently am a stay at home mom with lots of free time to play. My kids are in school so it leaves lots of time for me to love & play with the dogs. We have a large fenced backyard for dogs to play in. I set up the pool & sprinkler in the summer to let the dogs play. We go on morning & evening walks with Lucy. Lucy loves to play fetch & wrestle. Lucy is a very well socialized dog. Between having our neighbors & nieces dogs over & going to the dog park up the road from our house they meet new dogs weekly. I am a stay at home mom and can let your animals out every 2 hours at my home or come to you as often as needed. I have a large fenced back yard with a covered patio for shade in the summer time. Our black lab loves to play or she will snuggle with your pup! I also have 3 extra crates so you do not have to bring your own along with water dishes & toys.
