I have been around animals all my life. My family had a German Shepard that lived for 18 years. My first dachshund lived for over 14 years. And my two current dachshund were adopted from Animal Aide over 11 years ago. Both of them have medical issues; however, that did not stop me from adopting them into my family. They are the light of my life. I believe animals are God's little joys on earth. My fur babies go everywhere with me. Rest assured that I will give your pets the same love I give my own pets. My vet can attest to how loved my two dogs are. Yes, they are spoiled rotten, but that is why I adopted them. They have a very loving home!!
