I am looking for adult dog (preferably one year or older) who is looking for a loving and caring owner. I have been a dog owner all my life, and my last girl was given the grace of a dignified death at home with all her family in March. I am ready to start considering a new best friend. Must be ok with cats. I am looking for a gentle, loving female or male who needs a new home. I will take obedience lessons and will walk and play with my new friend daily. We have a large yard with a 6' fence all around. Our dog remains indoors if we are out and cannot take him/her with us. My adult children will come over to spend some time with our dog if we are gone for more than a few hours. We have regular vet appointments and use high quality food. Our new friend will not be super high energy, but will enjoy time walking, running, and playing. Must be house trained. I am home almost all day every day, so we can keep each other company. Please consider me if you need to give up your dog, whether due to moving, new baby in house, or inability to care for him/her anymore. We do not want an aggressive pet, although we can manage a dog who is anxious around other dogs.
