I grew up in a household where I learned that having a dog should not be about fulfilling a selfish need, but about filling a dogs life with the abundance of love it deserves. I helped take care of three loving family dogs until I left for college, where I spent a great deal of my time caring for/fostering my friends' dogs as I was not financially able to have my own. I have since recently graduated from UCF and am now lucky to be a fur-mom to my sweet two-year-old pup, Dakota. I have experience watching, walking, and playing with all different types of dogs -- big, small, smelly, entitled, goofy, restless -- and I vow to be as patient with every one them as if they were my own. I truly have an enormous soft spot for the four-legged furry creatures, and would love to become friends with yours!
