My approach begins and ends with knowing that your dog is your family. I grew up caring for all kinds of animals, always with dogs I trained at my side, and I've always felt that the bond between a dog and its person is something really special. I love all sizes and breeds and have even studied various breeds' behavior and psychology when I was considering a future as a veterinarian! I raised a miniature dachshund puppy named Libby and she's a sweet little old lady now, turning 15 this year! I work as a server, mostly nights, and never more than six hours so availability is pretty easy for me. I have my own car and have equipped it with doggy seatbelts for trips to the dog beach and the parks and such. I can't wait to meet your dog!
