I volunteered for Austin Pets Alive! and Austin Humane Society for over 4 years. I have taken dog behavior courses, where I have trained dogs that have come to the shelter in bad shape, have no training, and even ones that have come from dog fighting rings. I have had dogs living with me all my life. Animals are my passion and I want to make animals my career. I understand animal behaviors and will go out of my way to make your pet happy! Ultimately, I'd love to start my own business in a dog sitting/boarding company, with the option of a shelter. There is no reason that this country should have so many homeless pets. I will look after your pet like my own. My dog, Paisley has been my constant, and my heart for the last 16.5 years. There's nothing like a bond between a fur parent and their fur baby, and I understand that.
