Hi, I am Erika! I am 20 years old and I love dogs! - I am currently a college student at Pace University, so I have time in-between classes and during weekends to spend with dogs. My only classes are Monday-Thursday for a few hours each day. I am pretty flexible with hours, as long as they don't interfere with my classes. - My dog stays at home with my parents while I am off at college. She is an Australian Cattle Dog mix, who was also born completely deaf. I trained her and taught her some sign language, including sit and other simple tasks. I walk her everyday when home for about 2 miles. She is now turning 5 years old and is my best friend.
