I have grown up with dogs my whole life and feel very comfortable caring for them. I currently have a lab/german shepherd mix and a french bulldog at home. I have been around various breeds of dogs and love them all. I love taking my dogs to the dog park, beach, and long walks. I'd be very excited to care for more dogs!
