Animals are my lifelong passion. As a baby, the family dachshund would howl under my crib whenever I cried. After growing up with dachshunds, I became involved in dog rescue & fostering--first basset hounds, then coonhounds & bloodhounds. I was also a cat mom for 15 years. I followed my passion & worked at Animal Humane New Mexico for 8 years in fundraising. My husband & I currently have two rescue dogs--a chatty & active Treeing Walker Coonhound and a 105-pound Bloodhound who is the biggest lovebug. I walk them together for at least an hour a day--what an adventure! My schedule is flexible as I currently work part-time as a yoga and meditation teacher. Your dog or cat will be put at ease by my calm vibes!:)
