Have no certified experience although I have owned and co existed with a variety of pets for the last 44yrs. Chevy, my pure bred Am Staff passed away 1year ago at the age of 4 1/2yrs with cancer. I'm still very much at a loss. As much as I want another companion I'm not ready to replace her yet. However, I am in need of 4 legged friends who would love to hang out and and enjoy a new friend themselves.
