Our dogs have had a tremendous number of playmates and not only the puppies, but also the adults, given the foster dogs and rescues that have passed through here.

Nagazi & Noa, when they first arrived

Shadow with Noa & Nagazi

Noa at 4 months, Shadow at 8 months

Nagazi with Andrew, a rescue puppy

Honey, a Rottweiler X who promptly whelped 10 puppies upon arriving here, relaxing with Nagazi

We always have open crates sitting on our deck so that any puppy or adult who wants some quiet time can hop right in (and hope one of the others doesn't want to pile on top :-)) Nagazi always loved to sleep in one of these crates as long as he could find a perfect pillow.
