I was born into an animal household and that's all I know. The only time I didn't have pets was in college. I will give your animals the utmost respect and attention. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and horses. My husband and I currently have 1 horse and 3 dogs. All the dogs we have had in the past, and our current ones, are rescues. I have a soft spot in my heart for the bully breeds and 'last chance' dogs. I have been involved with various rescue groups and shelters, as an advocate, volunteer and foster, for about 8 years. We have been foster failures twice :) Our dogs (and horse) are family to us and I will treat your pets as if they were my own.
