I have had dogs while growing up and then as an adult, have had dogs in my house since 1992. I love dogs and have taken in stray dogs, dogs that need homes, and dogs that need love. I have had neighbors knock on my door to see if I could take in a stray dog. They are a great part of my life and I love having them. I currently have two dogs: one a Chihuahua who is about 14 years old and a Queensland Heeler. For the last couple of years, the Chihuahua has had medical issues and will not be with us much longer. My Heeler takes care of the house and my family. She is very smart and likes to keep everyone is line and safe. I would love a part time job taking care of other animals. I could not take care of dogs that need a home because it breaks my heart and I would have too many of for me to take care of! I also have my Grandpuppy and I help my daughter with taking care of her frequently. She is a mini-dachshund. She has the greatest personality and loves everyone! She loves to play chase with my Heeler or anyone else who will play. My home has a large backyard (about 1/3 acre) and a doggie door so the dogs can come and go as they need. I mostly work out of my home so I will be there to take care of them. When I am not home, I have my brother helping who also is a big dog lover. I love to play chase and throw the ball with dogs. In the cooler weather, I also love taking the dogs for a walk.
