Therapy dogs in Milwaukee, WI
I have trained two therapy dogs to work in nursing homes and hospices with me. I currently have one cat and one dog. The pup just turned two and is finally calming down. Have provided my home for the pets of friends when they were out of town. No issue with the size of dog or cat or fish or mouse. Glad to take care of all.
