I got my first puppy when I was 7 years old- it taught me responsibility, care, and love for all animals. Knowing how much I loved this cute pup, I expanded my scope of what loving animals means to me. I adopted 2 cats 6 years later, and was in a 4-h club for 7 years and raised over 30 rabbits, along with tending to all the other animals at the fairgrounds. I had 3 cute little hamsters as pets when I was in high school as well. I have also had the pleasure of taking care of other peoples dogs, cats, birds, and many other animals, which I enjoy an immense amount.
