I have had pets my entire life; when I was born my parents had a cat, Toby, that became my best childhood friend! I have always adopted my animals (strays, or from a shelter!). I have one amazing cat (Scooby, he is more like a dog than a cat) and a puppy (Calla, 6 months old) who LOVES other dogs and puppies. I have also pet/house sat for many family friends. Our dog is very high energy (Jack Russel/Beagle mix), so I would be able to handle a high energy dog as well!
