Alissa'a compassion for animals is a well known fact to all who know her. She is a mom to 3 dogs of different breeds, her most recent addition to her pack was basically a rescue from a family who wasn't offering the love and attention an animal needs. Her dogs are all up to date on shots, they are walked in rain, shine and even the coldest, snowy days. They have all the accessories for safety like harnesses, vests, etc. and of course an abundance of toys and most importantly, love. Alissa also is trained in the medical field which I feel helps immensely if an animal should fall ill. She is quick thinking and calm. She sat with me and cared for my dog of 13 years who was in his final days. The dog was literally hemorrhaging due to the aspirin the vet told me to give him. She sat and calmed him (and me) down and I will never forget that. Animals are very smart and are great judges of character. They all seem to love Alissa. I would totally trust her with your furry friends!
