1st priority: a happy + healthy dog My family has had dogs since I was born. We have had a newfoundland and pugs, so I have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs. My dogs have had chronic ear infections, allergies, hip dysplasia and arthritis so I know how to treat old dogs carefully and gently, and understand their allergies if they have any. My pugs were both rescue pugs, and we don't know their exact backgrounds but one of them probably was at a puppy mill and had an unhappy, if not abused background, so I have experience in dealing with emotionally nervous dogs as well. I am patient, loving, and know how to look out for signs of distress in pets. I also love outdoor activity and will exercise your dogs properly. I also love to snuggle, pet, and play inside with dogs as well. They will be healthy and happy in my care.
