Claire Beutler operates from a genuinely kind heart. She is kind to all people and animals. She is thoughtful, considerate, responsible, tenderhearted, and humane. Her compassion for animals is tremendous. I've known her to pull over the car, get out in the pouring down rain, to help a stray dog, get it safely into her car and take it to a shelter. She has cared for all of our animals many times and we know we can always trust her. She is dependable and reliable even during difficult times. While caring for our two cats, two dogs, two bunnies, and six chickens, one of our chickens was showing very concerning signs of illness. Claire found a vet that treated chickens (which is not easy to do) and took our chicken to the vet for help. She is always willing to go above and beyond for any animal to be given the best care. She also built a shelter outside her home for stray cats to use in inclement weather. She is competent, loving, and the best animal care giver we have ever had.
