I am a retired health care professional with experience walking shelter dogs for Operation Kindness, and fostering dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and even dogs with complex medical needs and behavior issues. I have owned cats previously and adore them, but haven't been able to have any lately due to compatibility with my dogs. Currently I have a senior pocket pittie mix and a youthful four year old hound mix who has a history of seizures controlled by daily meds whose favorite thing is treeing all the squirrels in the back yard.
