I've been with and around animals my entire life and have always loved their company as well as seeing them happy. I was one of the primary caretakers for my dog, Hickory for her entire 14 year life and have been taking care of my adopted cat, Mischief since he was 5 weeks old. I also spent 6 months working at the Veterinarian Center where I adopted Mischief from and while that doesn't qualify me as a capable animal health professional, I certainly feel that I have a lot of knowledge and experience dealing with difficult situations involving animals. Things like recognizing the behavioral signs of an aggressive or scared dog, and understanding the anxieties of someone who feels like a parent to their animal friends are some of the things that might set me apart from others. I now also have a second cat, Moxie who has become best friends with Mischief! I plan on pursuing a career in canine massage/rehabilitation therapy, because I have a genuine love and interest in animals that I want to continue nurturing my entire life. I give my sincerest promises that I will look after your animal friends as if they were my own.
