I have been an animal person since I was young. I always wanted the animals that nobody else did. I have been rescuing animals for 25 years. I was the director of a children's program that taught gentleness and kindness to animals for children who come from abuse. I hav fostered kittens , puppies, cats and dogs. I currently have a 12 year old chihuahua mix and a 4 year old terrier mix. I also have a 19 year old cat that I fostered since he was 6 years old. I believe that how we treat animals is as important as how treat children. I would take of your animal as if they were my own. Animals are people too! Thank you for reading !
