I've owned animals my entire life, from cats to dogs, fish, and hamsters. I currently have two cats, and one dog in my home. My dog is a rescue from Northern Critters, he's about 8 months old. Very friendly, great with other animals ! My cats are a little shy. My son is 5, he's a huge animal lover as well. Any questions, feel free to contact me. I work Monday - Friday from 8:30 until 3:15. My availability is from 4 until 9 during the week. Weekends are much more flexible. I am off during July & August, as I work for the school board, so my availability would be completely open during those months. I have a partially fenced in yard, only one section is not. Your dog would be safe and never unattended !
