For over 20 years I have enjoyed the company of puppies and dogs in my home. Rufus is the current family member and is a 100 lb yellow lab who loves company, especially other dogs. Our space is a 3 bedroom house which is thoroughly dog and child proof with an upstairs, main floor and basement. Each areas is easily opened or segmented depending on the needs of the guests. Additionally, there is a fenced in backyard which backs up against a protected area of trees. The neighborhood (Gray Acres) is a private area with a large number of dogs who reside and often walk the 1 mile walk route. All walk areas have side walks and low traffic, allowing for safe walk with the occasional dog walker also around.
