We have enjoyed having dogs companions for the last 23+ years. We don't have kids so dogs are family and have our full attention. In addition to our own dogs, we have also fostered several rescued dogs and helped them to find good forever homes. Since the Spring 2016, we have volunteered with a local animal rescue group, including caring for dogs at the shelter and fostering. We had the opportunity to work with a dog behaviorist in helping to socialize some of the dogs at the shelter, which was a great hands-on learning experience. Currently we have 3 dogs with the newest addition in Oct 2017, all of which have been rescues. Our previous adoption, we were fostering but saw the potential in his behavior and attitude, so we adopted him and he now the role model of having shelter dogs help socialize other rescue dogs and participate in pack walks. Daily routine of 2 meals, plenty of time together and going out as often as possible. Administering medicine is not a problem. We believe and practice having clear boundaries and limitations for the dogs and positive reinforcement. We provide a comfy and cozy home environment during their stay. We have a peaceful location with a large front and back yard for the dogs to enjoy, a large deck in the back and plenty of room in the house to spread out and relax. Scott is home most of the day. They will go on a walk every day if desired and the weather permits. There is also an indoor play area when if the weather is bad. Since we don’t have a fenced yard, we will always have them on a leash when outside. We look forward to meeting you and your dog and can try to customize the daily routine for your specific needs.
