Dogs as all pets in my eyes are a member of the family and that is how your dog will be treated in my home. I've had dogs my entire life. I also have experience with dogs who have medical problems. I had a miniature schnauzer who was diabetic. I had to give her shots twice daily. I currently have a pitbull who is just the biggest baby and has never met a stranger. She is a little over a year old and loves other dogs. I work from home so your dog will never be left or caged.
