My spouse and I own our home. We have a fenced in back yard and a field across the street where we often play with our dog. We also have a pool if your dog likes to swim if not we will keep them away from it. I grew up with dogs and love having them around. We have two but I just don't know if I am ready to commit to getting another dog of my own right now. This is my way of compensating for my love and desire to have more dogs around. I am very active and I can guarantee that your dog will get the love and attention that it needs while it stays with us in our home. thanks
