I got my first dog at the age of 7, a German Shepard/chow mix, my second was a Chihuahua Dog that I got in the 7th graded and a German Shepard/Labrador mix that I saved from my local shelter when i was 16. I also take care of my roommates cat. I've learned what it takes to take care of my pets and how to care for them. I saw my pets as more like family and loved spending time with them. My experience comes from taking care of my own pets, I had to move for college and couldn't take them with me. I love animals and would love to take of your pets.
