I’ve loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent time around my aunt’s Golden Retriever and was always excited to meet and spend time with animals. In high school, I had my own Chihuahua named Aurora, which gave me experience with daily feeding, care, and companionship. I also fostered a Pit Bull from a local animal shelter during a time when the shelter was overcrowded and needed temporary foster homes. While living in Hawaii, I helped care for my cousin’s Chihuahua, Brownie, as part of my everyday routine. I fed her, cleaned up after her, spent time with her, and took her on walks, beach outings, and car rides. More recently, I’ve spent time caring for a senior rescue Pit Bull, Tyson, who has experienced neglect and multiple owners. My experiences have taught me that every dog deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. I enjoy helping pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their families are away.
