I’ve had animals my whole life. Growing up we always had multiple dogs in the house and then later a couple of cats. When I was 19 I got my very own puppy, a pit mix named Ozzy. He taught me a lot about responsibility and love. In 2019 I got another puppy, this time a bossy little dachshund named Beans. He was a little bit tougher to train as he is very stubborn but also extremely food motivated :) Sadly, Ozzy passed away at the beginning of 2023 leaving me and his brother Beans heartbroken. After Ozzy passed I connected with a rescue in Virginia Beach and started doing “puppy sleepovers”. Taking time 1-2 puppies for a few nights at a time to get them out of the shelter for a bit to free up space at the shelter and to socialize them. My favorite thing to do with dogs is to get them outside & active! Whether that means runs on the beach, walks around the neighborhood, or just fetch in the yard :) I’m down to go slow with a senior pup or run around like crazy with a young energetic dog.
