I grew up with dogs in the household. My father trains our English Springer Spaniels religiously! Big hunting family. Very familiar with training and the importantance of consistency. Our dogs are a crucial element of the family. In the home I share with my girlfriend we would love a temporary stay of a dog. Especially, while I am on a job search! We live in a town home with a gated yard and a larger common grass area. There is plenty of room for a pet to run! Many of our neighbors walk there dogs in our quiet neighborhood. My girlfriend and I have always had dogs in our family homes. I will be the primary caregiver. But we both love dogs! Your dog will be entering a loving, save, and spacious home. We live in a gated and quiet neighborhood. It is very pet friendly!!
