I have been around dogs my entire life. The house we grew up in was in the country and we always had puppies and dogs dropped. There was never a doubt we loved them all and wanted to keep them all. We have always adopted dogs from shelters, or like the two I had growing up, from the Walmart parking lot. My chocolate lab mix is a rescue dog and I have fostered for the same rescue group multiple times. I started dog walking and house sitting for professors in college, and miss it dearly. I love giving all animals the love they deserve. They give me a sense of joy each day, and are life's best medicine. Naps, walks, playtime and are my favorite times!
