From the day I was born, I've been around dogs. I've always been the caretaker type, so I've been caring for them and loving dogs since I was young. I always want to pet every dog I walk by and comment on nearly every dog I see anywhere and wish I could save all of the dogs that need rescued (I probably drive my fiance nuts). When I was 18, I got my first dog, Tucker. I raised him from the time he was 8 weeks old up until the day he passed just recently. He was my soul dog. At age 14, he had to have both of his eyes removed, so I have personal experience with blind dogs. Right now, I know I'm not ready to give my heart to another dog of my own, but I figured this would such a great way for me to be able to give my love to other dogs on a more regular basis!
