I've owned dogs my entire life. I am currently the mom of a small terrier/dauschund mix. I am very familiar with a dog's natural instincts and varied breeds habits. I have experience volunteering at shelter events, in a veterinary hospital as well as with animal rescue teams. My house is great for pets because it is clean and uncluttered, has a outdoor deck for doggie sunbathing and lots of surrounding trails and open grass for lots of exercise and activity. I look forward to caring for your pooch and can promise they will be VERY loved! Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and/or favorite treats and toys that make them feel more at home. I will be sure to send lots of photo updates of your pooch throughout the day!
