I have loved animals since before I could walk! I grew up with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians.. the list goes on. I can adapt to any pets needs. Consider your best friend a part of my family when they’re under my care. If you have other small pets in the home other than dogs or cats, no worries! I am a recent Army veteran and am currently pursuing a degree at Oregon State. After thirteen years on active duty, I am prioritizing my mental health and caring for animals has always been my passion. While serving, I have volunteered all over to include Richmond Humane Society, Humane Society of Southern Arizona, and Puppy Rescue Mission. I have also fostered over 10+ dogs and cats of all ages, keeping them safe until they find their fur-ever home. I have three dogs of my own who are rescues from New York and Romania. I also have a snake that I have had since 2005! I am new to Rover but I am certainly not new to opening my heart to your 4-pawed friends.
