I am in a dog-friendly community with a dog park nearby. I am at home all day, so frequent walks, love, attention, hugs, and baby will be provided. I have had our dog 13 years I do not believe dogs our pets they are family and treated as such. I have provided fostering thru my years for local shelters and loved it. I wanted to adopt them all. I have one son at home that is 17 years old that loves to help out with the dogs and says his bed is their bed. I can say I do not allow my dog or any others on my sofa, but I have plenty of blankets and can provide dog beds. I do not use crates, but if the owner feels it necessary, I can provide one.
