I have never not had a dog in my life, and have experience with big and small dogs, as well as energetic and mellow dogs. I had 3 different dogs growing up, one of them was a crazy but amazing jack Russell Terrier. Recently, my roommate and I have fostered a 2 year old dog and a 3 month puppy and found them their forever homes. They both got along great with the older dog, Zola, that I live with. She is a great role model and friend. I will make sure your dog gets lots of exercise, pets and love so that the rest of your day is easier. I am in graduate school and have a good amount of flexibility. I will give your pup lots of love and attention and make sure they have a good day while you're at work so they don't get lonely!
