Our home

We live on a little over 12 acres with a huge pond stocked with bass and perch. House is 2500sq ft ranch type farmhouse with 2 covered patios. We do have neighbors on both sides, but property is fenced in and we have an electric gate to enter the property. The house has 3 bedrooms, but our primary bedroom would be locked. You would still have the use of our other 2 rooms and hall bath with shower & tub. Those rooms have a queen and full size bed.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

We love the area because it is safe, but out in the open country. We love fishing in our pond. We love that our dogs have a wide open space to run around all day.

DogsDogs (4)
We have 4 dogs, 2 med/large males and 2 medium sized females.There names are:
Roscoe-Lab
Bear-Husky/Retriever
Queen-Australian Sheperd/Heeler
Addie-Husky mix

medicationMedication/treatment required

2 of our dogs require medications. Roscoe has super high anxiety towards being left alone for long periods of time, thunderstorms, fireworks, loud noises in general. He is a sweetheart who likes to be your shadow, but is affectionate. He currently takes Prozac once a day and Xanax up to 2x a day. Bear is a lovable dog, but he does require getting to know you first. He tends to bark and be stand offish when he meets new people. Would require you to meet and hang out with him a few times to get to know you and trust you. He can be food aggressive toward other dogs. He currently takes Prozac and Xanax 1x daily.

Important info

3 of our dogs stay outside, but they have access through a dog door into an air conditioned garage. We also have a pet washing station in the garage should they need to be cleaned. Have a small gym set up in garage that’s gated from the dogs. Our dog Roscoe is the only one inside full time.
