I am currently a college student at the University of Central Florida. I plan on working with animals in my future career. I have taken care and looked after dogs since I was 12 years old. At age 12, I was gifted a beautiful beagle named Kiara. I learned how to take care of dogs by taking responsibility for kiara. She loved long walks and the different smells of the outdoors. At age 16, I started volunteering at my local shelter. I was required to take dog handling classes before my first day volunteering. The shelter is how I learned to walk dogs and handle dogs that weren't my own. I am a fellow dog lover and will ensure the safety and happiness of the dogs in my care.
