I have cared for animals since I can remember and am also an ally for all animals and their rights. I have experience with needy pets, those with fear and anxiety, and others that need particular medication on a strict and tight schedule. I will not interfere with any training and know how important it is to continue the protocol for puppies. As a child, I had a dog, guinea pigs, and hamsters to care for my own. During my teen years, our family had cats. During college, I cared for my cat and a bird while my roommates had additional cats and lizards. When living in China, my partner and I adopted a very ill cat. With limited resources there and quality care, we nursed her to a very healthy cat that now resides happily with her dog, cat, and human friends. I also did some pet fostering for pet rescue programs in Shanghai. Our household used to have cats, but they have all gone on to their next lives, and now we have a seven-month-year-old hound puppy. I have experience caring for senior and ill cats but also have the high energy for a puppy that requires a lot of attention. I'm a very patient person with animals. I'm also athletic. I can handle most any type of animal. As a cyclist, I've learned very well how to talk and work with unfamiliar dogs and show little fear. With belly rubs and kisses, I will become part of the pack in no time. Aaaaand, since I'm a freelance photographer, who knows what kind of pet portraits you'll receive when I part ways with my new furry friends.
