I have fostered dogs in the past. I volunteer at the Humane society for their fundraising events. I am a Certified personal trainer by trade, so I like to be physically active throughout the day and it's fun to keep the dogs active with me. I live next to a park with walking trails that are great for the dogs to sniff out new scents and explore the woods searching for squirrels in the trees. I have a fenced in backyard that has shaded areas. I've had dogs that lived 17 years so I know how to handle seniors and I've also rescued puppies so I have experience with the little ones as well. I live 5 minutes from a dog park so there are many active options
