I would be best suited for someone with a high energy dog like a Border Collie, Aussie, etc. I will take your dog in my new station wagon over to Highland Recreation Area, Pontiac Lake, Lake Orion...

I am a pet lover! I own dogs, cats, goats, rabbits and chickens! My house always seems to be the place where pets tend to end up when they "escape" from their homes. We've had dogs, cats, and horses show up. LOL! We would be happy to take in your potty trained pet who is comfortable with other dogs and cats!
