I’m a mom of two furless teenage boys and four furbabies: one German Shepherd and three cats. My first animal job was working at a wildlife rehabilitation center where I assisted with the care of injured wildlife. We worked mostly with raptors like owls, hawks, and turkey vultures, but I also spent some time in a cage with feral bobcats and a family of skunks. I even had the amazing opportunity to wrap a hawk’s broken leg! He healed up quite nicely. I then became a dog groomer and learned that while I don’t love giving dogs haircuts, I do love helping them feel better, so I became a vet tech and learned how to provide good nursing care to our four legged friends. I was also a caregiver in hospice and memory care for fifteen years, and then recently tried my hand at social work for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Currently I am pursuing a bachelors degree in psychology. Helping is in my nature and I’d love to lend a hand with your pups!
