I grew up with dogs as a child. I watched them grow as puppies, learned about what it takes for their health to be protected through shots, as well as how to feed them, walk them, and care for their dietary needs depending on their size. This knowledge was only strengthened once I got to work in a professional environment in an animal shelter. In 2010 I began working at Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation, where I was responsible for walking the dogs, feeding them (including paying attention to special dietary needs due to sickness, weaning, etc), as well as providing play time, and ensuring their condos were clean and toys and blankets fresh. I adored my work with dogs, both personal and professional and hope to be able to care for your pets with just as much love, care, and enthusiasm.
