Hey everyone I just want to start out by saying that as a dad of 2 young children, I know how sensitive it is to be away from something so imporant to you. I would treat your dog as my own for as long as needed. I always had a dog at home growing up so not having one around feels unnatural. I have a wife who is on maternity leave and will always be around to give a dog love and affection as she does with our children. We are nurturing people who love tending to the needs of others. I do have a vechile so I am able to do regular checks on dogs at the comfort of your own home or would be happy to host a dog in my home with my family. I also have experience and enjoy other pets. We do have a older cat at home who is great with our children. If you have any other questions or would like to know more, please feel free to contact me.
