The location of our home is so ideal for dogs. We are right next to a large dog park where there is a separate fenced area for small dogs and a large general area for dogs of all sizes just steps from our front door. If your pal likes more adventure, we have a large green belt with a creek and endless networks of trails, there are also large fields where they can chase balls safely. We also take larger dogs or pups with bigger energy up to Golden Ears to hike if they enjoy trails. I have owned a dog in a primary care capacity for 15 years but do not currently own a dog. I have experience with dogs who have anxiety, aggression, and dogs who have health issues/medical needs. I have managed dogs in emergency situations, such as wildlife encounters or rescuing a dog that has fallen through the ice or into a tree well. I am trained in St. John’s ambulance first aid and understand and have some exp. with how to perform first aid on animals to get them to emergency care. My daughter, who is 11 years old, also lives in the home. She works with horses and really enjoys the training aspect of having dogs stay with us. If you have a dog that needs a job or even just really needs to be reminded what to do a lot she’s an asset. In the evenings, we like to spend our time at home we have a dog wash station on the property to clean our pals up if we’ve had too much adventuring during the day. They are allowed on the couches and beds even if they are a little bit messy … what is the flat bedsheet really for anyway? We have a patio area if they like to hang out outdoors and listen to the neighbourhood or they can snuggle up with us. Our cats are super friendly and one of them thinks he’s a dog so hopefully your pal enjoys feline friends. They have been well accustomed to dogs and are VERY curious and friendly with visitors.
