I've loved my German Shepard for years. My family has always had a dog in the house. Sometimes it seems like I am the only one in the house that understands our dog. I'm very patient and loving. Dogs may try very hard to tell us what they need. I will listen to the best of my ability. I am told I have a calming presence. I believe I provide that for dogs as will. I will follow any directions as they are given. I lead a busy life, but I find time for my animals. I'm a full time teacher, so I am most available after school hours, 4-10. I plan to get my own dog in the future, so I want to experience many other dogs while I am free to. I hope you choose to trust me with your pet. I will treat them as my own.
