Hello! At Shoreline Sanctuary your dog would be my top priority. I have always had pets and consider them to be part of the family--you're dog would be no exception. I have a large property where your dog could run around and chase squirrels to their hearts delight. If that is not their speed, I would be happy to snuggle on the couch with them watching their favorite shows on Netflix! What is nice about my home is that it is all hardwood/laminate floors so if there was a situation where they had an accident it would be a stress free situation. I'm a home body so if I were to leave my home while watching your animal it would be for a short amount of time. My neighborhood is dog friendly, and there is a park just a couple miles away that makes for wonderful dog walking terrain! In the past I have dealt with some serious medical issues for my own pets, so if your dog were to require special medical needs I would be up for the challenge. It completely understand how intimidating it can be leaving your dog with a stranger, but I can guarantee that if you left your dog in my care that they would be treated like one of my own fur babies!
