My name is Elaine, and I’m a program manager in the Sustainability field. Coming from a house that’s always had dogs, I would love to help out other families with furry friends. Back home in rural New York, my biggest dog, Hank, (yellow lab, 110 lbs) and I love to go for walks and jogs and play fetch. My smallest, Penny, (Jack Russell) really prefers to snuggle up with a good book. I've had 5 dogs in the last 10 or so years, and all of them have had unique and lovable personalities. I'm familiar with administering medication, removing ticks, and adhering to a strict meal time schedule for particularly food motivated friends-- really any skills that are pet owner related (this of course includes clean-up too!).
