Dogs have been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a family, we had several dogs growing up, with whom I developed strong bonds. Throughout my life, many friends have turned to me to be their "surrogate dog mother" while they are working late or on vacation. I have helped raise several dogs from very young ages, and know and understand the importance of loving care. In my life experience, I generally connect to most dogs very quickly and find love learning about the individual quicks of each animal. I am an outdoor enthusiast and am very active by nature. I will make sure that your dog gets as much exercise as they need! I love talking dogs for walks and going on little adventures in the area. I believe that the happiest dog is one that is able to walk, run, and explore. I look forward to meeting your animal and spending quality time with them. Thanks so much for your consideration!
