I have been a dog lover my whole life. I had many dogs as I grew up and have had them now with my own family. I worked at a pet clinics for a few years when I was younger so I feel very comfortable with dogs of all breeds. My family is also dog lovers, my husband also grew up with dogs and we have had dogs the whole time we have been married. My kids are 14, 11, and 5. To say my 5 year old loves dogs is an understatement. She loves to give them love and attention. In the warmer months we spend a lot of time outside. We have watched dogs for friends and family and loved it. We know how much our dogs mean to us and we love them like family. We can't wait to share our love with yours and treat them like part of our family. We have a large fenced yard. We love indoor dogs too. Indoor dogs need to be potty trained, unless they are a puppy and then I will be able to assist with the potty training while here. We have 3 dogs: German Shepherd who is about 12 & Border Collie/Lab who is 13 and a Maltipoo who is a puppy. We do also have chickens in a cage in our backyard, but there is a fence and space between them and the yard. I am home most of the day except to take my daughter to school and pick her up, which is just a block away so not far. We have a large fenced yard, almost a half an acre. We do have chickens but they are in a cage locked up. Lots of room to run and play.
