I grew up in Pennsylvania around dogs, cats, birds, and more. I live in North Oakland/Bushrod with two pets: McLuvin and Ruby Soho. Growing up I was surrounded by all breeds of dogs - from the smallest toy Fox Terrier to a family of huge Malamutes. There's truly not a breed I don't enjoy being around. I’ve also had cats my entire life, some with special medical needs, and have taken care of birds, reptiles, etc. I have a natural ability to get along with even the most difficult of animals. I understand that animals not only like, but need routines, and each one has it's likes and dislikes. I do everything possible to understand them.
