We have both had dogs all of our lives. We love animals and have 3 dogs of our own. 2 are Yorkies and the baby is a Havanese-Shih-Tzu mix. We are both retired and spend most of our day at home. We do try to go out for a couple of hours each day, usually to the store or for a bite to eat. We have a fenced in yard with grass. We have doggie doors leading to the outside so your baby can come and go as it pleases them. We do require that you show proof of your dogs shots as well as they be spade or neutered. I am sorry but we can only take small dogs, up to 15 pounds. We can do day care or long term care for vacations and such. We would enjoy having your fur baby with us and our babies would have fun with a little play mate. We have a large yard for them to play in as well as they have the run of our home. Our babies would love the company and they get along well with other dogs.
