We have a 15 year old rescue pit/terrier, she is sweet as can be and would love some company. I have had pets all my life, adopted this dog, Smallsy when she was 1 and apparently have kept her healthy happy and funny for 14 years. I also have had many cats and used to foster cats to help with space in the shelters. I have 2 kids 6 & * who are in love with animals and are very calm and responsible, they are sweet and careful kids. We have a very large house and 3 extra bedrooms as well as a fenced lovely courtyard with a dog door. I am religious about cleaning especially poop!
