I come from a household that houses a bearded dragon, a chinchilla, a rabbit and many parakeets over the years. Through them I have learned patience, diligence and cleanliness. I have always wanted a dog but my parents are allergic. I grew up in Ireland with two dogs on my grandmothers farm, but had to leave them when I moved to America. My cousins have a dog with special needs, and I have experience of helping them with him. I live near a 6 mile forest preserve, and I am currently a third semester Nursing Student. I am trained in human CPR, and have researched animal CPR but not been certified. I believe dogs are too good for this world, we are lucky to share this earth with them, and while we can never give them what they truly deserve for loving us unconditional, the least we can do is provide good care for them while they're here.
