My name is Charlene and I am a part time Medical Assistant, and pre-nursing student. I am a devoted vegetarian and have a passion for caring for animals. I have a 4 year old German Shepherd and a 4 year old cat that were both rescued from harsh conditions! I have been caring for animals part time for 4 years, and I have great deal of experience in caring for animals with separation anxiety as my own dog suffered from severe anxiety when he was first adopted. I also have a large amount of experience with medication administration and caring for dogs with moderate to severe hip arthritis and hip dysplasia. I have experience with older dogs that need assistance with walking, and the ability to use a walking harness if needed.
