We have a very friendly 11 year old female black lab, named Shasta, who loves company, and a very playful 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier named Mack. We also have a 2 year old little boy who loves his dogs. We have almost 2 acres for the dogs to run but we do not have a fenced yard. We use an electronic fence so your dog would either need to have the temperament to use the electronic fence (we would provide the collar for the fence) or be a dog that is good with being taken out on a leash. My wife works from home so your dog would have almost constant supervision and would have playmates during their entire visit. We have cared for dogs of all ages for 30+ years and would love to take care of your pooch while you are out of town.
