I grew up in the Midwest around dogs and puppies and absolutely go crazy for them. My family are all dog-lovers - everybody has at least 2-3 dogs. The holidays are especially cute as there will be about 15 dogs at my grandparent's house, and they all get along (for the most part) exceptionally. I am all about anything animals. Have volunteered at local animal shelters walking and bathing them, visited Soi Dog Foundation and am passionate about rescue. The thought of any kind of animal mistreatment makes me sick. I feel like I can earn a dog's trust easily and will be patient as they warm up to me. I can walk and run them, bathe them, and give them plenty of love and belly rubs!
