David and I met working as volunteers for the local pet shelter, JPAWS. We worked together on several projects concerning the animals at the shelter, and in this time I’ve gotten to know of David’s great passion, care, and love for them. I also saw his work ethic and determination to make things happen, all rooted in his drive to care for these animals. I would trust him implicitly to make all the right decisions and give my pet loving care if I was away.

I’ve known David for many years. When I got my Tea Cup Yorkie Gabriella, in April of 2015 he fell in love with her and a beautiful relationship began. He saw her nearly daily in the beginning, she was 9 weeks old when I got her. When I moved away from the greater New Orleans area, he’d drive all the way to Holden and spend time with Gabby. He purchased a basket for his bike and would take her for rides up and down my dead end street in the country and she LOVED it. He’d bring her treats and she loves him to death. She is now nearly 8 and all I have to tell her is “David’s coming to see the Gabby Girl!” And she commences to lose her little mind. They have a wonderful relationship. I recently got a little female Maltese I named Paisleigh from Gabby’s breeder and she was only 11 weeks old. My poor middle aged lady has been kinda traumatized by the baby I got for her as a companion. David immediately expressed concern about Gabby’s mental well being because Paisleigh would NOT just let her be, pouncing, biting, chasing, stealing her resources. Gabby never had to guard anything prior to Paisleigh’s arrival. David comes and gives our older lady some extra attention and TLC, he lets her know she is still number one in his eyes. 🥹 He is excellent with caring for and entertaining my girls and he’s good with all dogs and cats and enjoys spending time with them. He will make a fantastic sitter/walker and companion to any animal lucky enough to get him as their friend.
