Taffy the Miniature Schnauzer was an intelligent, fluffy ball of fun. She became my first dog when I was 5, and became the dog who started my love for animals. After Taffy, we spent a few years without a dog, but got two more later on. I have owned at least one dog ever since. From this, I have gained personal experience caring for not only healthy puppies and dogs, but blind and diabetic dogs as well. Professionally, I have worked at Banfield Pet Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant and have experience with both healthy and ill animals. I am able to administer oral and topical medications, and feel comfortable giving shots as well, such as insulin for diabetic animals. I also took a few college courses towards being a Veterinary Technician. I have experience from volunteering at local animal shelter, and currently own 3 cats, so I’m comfortable around cats as well. I work a full-time 9 to 5:30 job, so I am available in the evenings on weekdays, and any time on weekends.
