Please be sure to ask me about my military, police, and other first responder discounts to see if you qualify! I (Christi) have had German Shepherds, cats, snakes, and a random assortment of small rodents my entire life since I was born. I currently have 3 cats, a California King Snake, a beta fish, and 2 German shepherds. Both of my dogs are rescues who came to me and my husband from different types of abusive homes/situations, so I understand how to approach and handle many rescue dogs. I am aware of almost all types of behavior patterns, postures, and other cues that provide insight into how the animal is feeling and I generally am able to determine what the best response is to those cues in order to make sure the animal feels safe, comfortable, and not overwhelmed. Additionally, I have volunteered with multiple wildlife rescues (working with owls, foxes, crows, possums, raccoons, snakes, cats, dogs, and more) and I have rescued, and occasionally rehabilitated, many types of animals. Some examples include a mole stuck in the middle of the road trying to dig through asphalt, baby ducks whose mom was killed by a car, turtles in the road, snakes in houses & garages, an eastern coachwhip with life threatening injuries, and baby geese stuck in a storm drain, to name a few. I am Florida born and raised, so I am used to and ok with all sorts of animals! Additionally, I have a lot of experience giving pets shots, pills, eye medications, ear medications, and topical medications too. If you book me, please let me know if need any claws trimmed or coats brushed. Depending on the animal, I generally preform those services for free. I have worked extensively with both cats and dogs and am comfortable giving your pet any shots it may need (i.e. insulin shots for diabetes). I understand some people find it difficult to give cats pills, but I am not one of those people: I have an extensive amount of experience giving pills to cats and dogs.
