My boys have all been rescues; innocent victims of abuse and neglect. While it breaks my heart knowing how horribly their lives started out, I am so humbled and grateful that they chose me. I've been trusted with taking care of my friends' and families' pets of all sizes and ages. After my best friend passed away unexpectedly in 2020, I took care of his Belgian Malinois, Demo, who was aggressive and territorial, but he trusted me. I couldn't have loved him any more, so when he was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer at 5 years old, I was devastated. Six weeks later, I held his paw and said goodbye, my sole comfort was knowing he would be with his dad again. I have experience in post-op care after my own dog, Tommy, had complete reconstructive orthopedic surgery on both back legs. He was a difficult patient, and I discovered my patience knows no bounds. Additionally, I've had a great deal of experience working with "bully breeds", aggressive dogs, and large dogs. We have a 145lb German Shepherd who can be unpredictable and won't hesitate to bite if he thinks I'm in danger. My brother is a cop, and I love watching the K9 units train; they're so fun to play with, but they need to have time to change from work mode to play time. I'm very cautious, I can read their body language, and I respect their boundaries. This approach hasn't failed me yet, and I use the same method with every dog I meet. Please know that the care your pets receive is exactly how I take care of my dog, Tommy. Feel free to contact me if there's anything else you would like to know!
