My husband and i have three childern, 12 year old, 11 year old and a 6 year old. All of our childern have been around animals there whole lives. We have a huge fenced in backyard with lots of room to run! We also have two dog doors for big and small dogs that lead into the house. There is a park a few blocks away we like to take the dogs to. Any dog that stays with us is treated like our own and have free run of the house. When feeding we keep all the dogs seperate, to ensure a safe environment We know how important animal childern are to families thats why we want to be a safe loving home away from home for your fuzzy friends.
