I love dogs. I currently have one dog of my own and she loves playing in her fenced in back yard (with her own doggie door from screened in porch). I am recently retired and at home nearly all the time and caring for dogs will help keep me company and give me something to keep myself busy. I am very flexible and can work around what is best for you and your dog. I have had dogs my whole life and I have spoiled all of them. I feed my dog the best dog food and take her to the vet at least twice a year for all her shots and regular care. I would treat any dog that I care for just as special as I treat my own dog. They are not just pets - they are part of the family.
