I've had dogs all my life, My sister and I rescued 2 female pups and raised them to a good old age of 12 and 15. We adopted 2 strays later on, one ran away another was killed by a burglar. I had 2 shih tzus ages 9 and 10 both passed due to terminal illness. I have 3 cats at my home now, adopted from the alley, initially had 4 but that kitty ran off and never came back. I'm not really up for taking care of anymore animals but I will help board for friends or maybe provide shelter for lost dogs.
