Hi there! I love dogs and thought this would be a great way to spend some of my free time. I have a lot of experience with pets as my mother raised show dogs, so I grew up knowing how to handle and care for dogs. We also lived in a rural area and had other animals as well, like cats and horses, so I am very familiar and fond of animals. In addition to that, I've also had my fair share of pets since moving out. A little more about me: I am in the DMV area for a research internship and to go to medical school next year. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I thought this would be a great way to interact with cute animals.
