I am a 74 year old retiree. I love all animals. I have owned/adopted a dog all of my life. I am a compassionate and responsible owner/parent. I know and understand the relationship between a pet and it's master. I understand that the relationship is no less important than a family member. We adopted a dog from Lollipop farm 22 years ago We named him Niles. He was a loyal and wonderful companion for 22 years. He brought us much joy. Niles was as important to us as any member of the family. His love was unconditional. He left us and his good buddy Oliver heart broken. I look forward to returning his love and dedication in anyway I can. I/we love all animals and feel that they sometimes get a bad rap. We/I want to share the love.
