Hello!! My name is Ella! I work in an architecture firm as the creative director and manager of operations. I grew up in Oakland Ca in a household full of animals; dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, chickens, hamsters, fishies... etc. I was blessed with being involved in raising a German shepherd pup as well as an English bulldog pup, in the last few years. I love animals and spend most weekends visiting the animal shelters(before covid :/ ). I figured that joining rover would be a great way to fill in my animal love. Additionally I am in the middle of planning on adopting my own dog. I’m studying dog training as well as prepping my home to be puppy friendly. Since I have not decided in a breed, or mix, that I am looking for yet, I am hoping to spend time with a variety of dogs in order to make the best decision for me. I would love to help out in any way. Please contact me for further information or if you have any questions. A response will be given within a 24 hour period. Thank you for your consideration! UPDATE: I am adopting a French bulldog from someone on Rover. Her owner is a travel nurse and believes that I will take better care of her while he is exploring his career. This will be taking place in June.
