I rarely meet a dog I don't want to love. My daughter and I help transport rescue animals from time to time and I always want to keep them and therefore I am not any good as a foster person. Every dog (13 if you count my grand puppies which I take care of frequently) I have ever owned has been a stray or a pound puppy. I have a dog door so your pet can come and go if that is what you want. I am home most of the time as I am retired. I probably will not be walking your dog as it is challenging to walk two dogs because my dog Mabel will want to go also but they can have free run of the yard and the house. I only want one dog at a time (although possibly consider two)
