I grew up playing with my aunt and uncle's two dogs, a black lab, and a black and brown lab/rotty mix. I learned so much by helping take care of them. I'm patient with animals and enjoy spending time with them. While in the Marine Corps and deployed to Afghanistan, I worked with military dogs, and developed a strong bond with them. To be around dogs makes my day, and I look forward to spending time and taking care of your dog as if it were my own.
