We both grew up with big dogs (labs, goldens, collies, etc.) and we want our kids to have the same experience. We adopted a rescue pup from down south over the summer and she is great! She has lots of energy when she first meets, but settles down pretty quick. We are an active family - we love walking, hiking, swimming (when it's nice), and we have a great big yard to play in! We like to spend time exploring NH and would welcome some more 4-legged company! Your dog(s) will be treated like they are a member of our family until you come back to get them. We do ask that any dogs we host are good with little kids, since ours are 4.5 and 2!
