I love animals! My own shih tzu is like my son. I am nurturing and love to give hugs, belly rubs and kisses. Growing up in the country, I gained experience and skill in caring for animals through my participation in 4H and opportunity to care for dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and a chinchilla. My fiance and I own our own home that we share with our adorable shih tzu. We have a very large yard with beautiful green grass. We live in a quiet neighborhood and do not get much traffic as the road dead ends at the end of our neighboorhood. This makes it safe and a great place to take the dogs out for a walk. Our house is warm and cozy and the dogs would be allowed in communal areas.
