I have had plenty of experience with dogs and animals throughout my life. I'd say that I have probably owned about ten or so dogs. I adopted my most recent dog Bella. She was a Husky Lab mix. She had aggressive bone cancer. So now I try to help with other peoples dogs and treat them as well as my Bella girl. I really enjoyed giving my dog a good amount of exercise and time outdoors. I loved to play ball with all of my dogs. I do not mind giving your animals baths and brushing their teeth. Living near the beach makes things really fun for myself and the animals. I love the beach so if your fur baby likes walks near the beach I can accommodate that.
