I have experience in large and small breed dogs. My family and I used to have a TREEING WALKER COONHOUND and a POMERANIAN a few years back. I also have experience in taking care of CATS, HAMSTERS, GERBILS, GUINEA PIGS, AND RABBITS. My husband, Jeremiah, will also be working with me to take care of your families pet(s) in case I'm unable to at certain times of the day. Now, we currently have a ST. BERNARD puppy named Cocoa. We got Cocoa for our daughter as a Christmas present for the sole reason of having a companion during her battle with brain cancer called Anaplastic Astrocytoma, which is a very rare cancer and currently has no cure. (We recently lost our battle on July 17th, 2016). We also have a cat named Lion who loves everybody he meets. There is a saying that my family has adopted since we have dealt with childhood cancer -- "OHANA means FAMILY. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Choosing me, shows your pet that you didn't just leave them or forget about them. You simply just want to provide them with a companion until you can return home safe and sound.
