I’ve had family dogs since I was five years old. My first dog was a beagle named Bella and she was with my family for 14 years. More recently (2019) my family rescued a mixed breed named Ernie. On top of personal experience, I have volunteer/professional experience. I started volunteering at the Nashville Humane Association at age 13, have completed two veterinary internships, worked in a few general practice veterinary clinics, and most recently working in biotechnology doing husbandry (bathing, feeding, providing enrichment) for many different species including dogs. I can trim nails, clean ears, express anal glands, wash, and administered oral and injectable medications as needed.
