We have always had dogs from childhood on. There is usually always someone home. We own a 78LB 6 year old golden retriever, who is sweet, friendly, and submissive. We also own a 11lb 1yr old chihuahua terrier mix, who is sweet and playful. Both dogs are socialized and spend a lot of time at dog beach and dog parks. The dogs get a 2 mile walk daily weather permitting. We have taken care of dogs before and treat them like our own and your pet will be loved and made very comfortable. Besides my wife and I we have 3 daughters at home, ages 29, 28, and 20 years old so there is a lot of love to go around. We are a genuine down to earth family.
