I have experience accommodating dogs on a raw diet, with deafness, mobility issues and/or high energy/anxiety. (My neighbors don't like barking mind you, so I always try to be respectful, and keep my furry guests happy, fed, exercised and quiet :) ) I like to run 3k most days and always welcome a pal with me. Dog park is close by as well. I have a closed yard to throw a ball, and a doggie pool for them to cool off in on a hot day. I don't like pets on furniture because we go in and out of the house a lot, but if they must, I can look at covering the furniture.
