Hello, Janice here. I am the very lucky human of a beautiful rescue pup Carly! Carly and I are not in a place to adopt another dog right now but one just isn’t enough (especially when Carly has about a dozen other humans)! She suggested I curb the need for another dog by taking care of yours’ and I’d be honored to love your furry baby as my own. There has never been a time in my life when there wasn’t a fur-baby, be it my varied menagerie of small pets, the dogs and cats next door and in my own backyard or the horses I cared for (and eventually owed!) at the barn where I had my first job. I grew up with a beautiful Brittany dog named Penny and cared for most of the pets in our neighborhood at one time or another. After earning my BA in Communication from Western Washington University I decided it was time to take the plunge and adopt a rescue pup of my own (Carly, the cute black and brown pup in my pictures)… and when I decided to go back to school for my BS in Psychology with a puppy in tow I learned just how much of a blessing having a little devil around could be as she kept me sane and offered unconditional love through the “ruff” college life. I am an active person who loves playing, exploring new areas, and especially taking hikes or getting out on the water. No matter the weather… rain, sleet, snow or drought I am always excited to go on doggy adventures! As detail oriented person, I appreciate your and your dog's preferences and will be diligent in upholding them. If you use hand signals for human to doggy communication, I will be able to readily learn the 'language' as I was once “fluent” in American Sign Language so am use to picking up new motions. I look forward (with crossed fingers) to helping fill a need for you and getting to know your dog!
