I love dogs more than anything. I don't mind having my face licked and dogs tend to really like me. I haven't met a dog yet that didn't like me! ;) Throughout my life I've always owned a dog, and feel they are a big part of who I am and my personality. My availability is going to be mornings and evenings and weekends. Tossing a ball around the park sounds like a blast and I will make sure your dog gets the exercise they need. I know all the dog parks in Salem well. Big, small, short hair, long hair, I don't care, I love them all. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Tea Cup Yorkie, I would be thrilled to help accommodate you.
