I grew up with dogs and cats. My husband and I have rescued several dogs over the past 16 years. All of them have now passed away and we are empty nesters, except our 6 year old twin boys. We have rescued dogs with disabilities and dogs of all ages. We have a large fenced in back yard that is secured with a privacy fence all around and the house has a doggie door. We are experienced with three legged dogs and are absolute dog lovers. We love to be around dogs, however chose to not get another of our own. Saying goodbye just became harder and harder.
