Because your dog will be another family member while they stay with us,and because the main reason why I want to do this is because both my dogs love other dogs and really enjoy their company.Our most spoiled kids are adopted .Sam, we adopted from the North ShoreAnimal League, he is a Husky or Malamute/German Shepard mix. Perrito we adopted from Furever pets and he is part rottweiler with some small dog mix.Both are very friendly and have never shown any aggressive behavior towards other dogs.Both my wife and I are home from Friday afternoon until Monday at 6:00 AM .We have a spacious fenced back yard for the dogs to have fun ,we are conveniently located next to the Parkway rt. 46 and rt 80 in Clifton N.J .
