I rescued two (GREAT) dogs from the shelter. We just put the last one down a year ago. I haven't found another one that is right for me yet, but I want to practice loving on other people's fur babies. I am a huge animal lover. I worked for a horse rescue nonprofit for 6 years and enjoy wet kisses and nuzzles. I take care of my animals like they are children. I will ensure your pet is well cared for while you're away. I'll even send you some great photos of them too. **My family also has a house in San Diego, so I can always take your animal(s) to their house if you prefer the pet to have a backyard and a bigger home to stay overnight in. ( I would obviously stay there as well).
