I am a stay at home mom & dog owner (of a very friendly 7 year old PTSD support dog whose life goal is more doggy friends). For more on her, check out her info on my profile. :) I volunteered for PAWS from age 10-18, have exeperience showing/grooming/training large breeds and have helped in rescues. My dog is my life- don't believe me? I have 4 kids and one name tattooed on my body...you guessed it, my dog's. ;) I know how important our canine companions are and how their safety, security, and well being is of the utmost importance. My experience on equine breeding/training farms gives me an extra knack if you have other animals that may need care, too. Since I am a stay at home mom, I have pretty open availability and am flexible with good communication. I'd be very picky if I had to trust someone else with the care of my own dog- my goal is to provide the same level of care, affection, safety, and consistency that I would expect for my own. Ps- I love all dogs, but have a SUPER soft spot for labs and lab mixes...and really enjoy big goofy family type breeds. ;)
