There’s no doubt that Elizabeth is an animal whisperer—not just dogs, but all animals. As a young child she took her own dog to obedience classes and continued on to become a certified therapy dog team. In years since, she and her dog have visited both schools and nursing homes, sharing therapeutic companionship and making life-changing friendships. Elizabeth is also a life-long equine enthusiast, having been a regular barn visitor since before she could walk. She is an accomplished rider and caretaker, but mostly she seems to enjoy just being surrounded by horses, dogs and various farm animals. Not just a casual animal-lover, Elizabeth has also interned with vets, attended the Royal Veterinary College London summer program, and done a great deal of volunteering with animal shelters and rescue organizations. I can not recommend Elizabeth highly enough. She is extremely responsible and conscientious and I trust her completely with both my animal and human children.
