Big family with even bigger hearts! I’m the 3rd of 7 children and owned pets since I was 6 years old! I spent the majority of my childhood and my adult life giving both temporary and permanent homes to many, many dogs and cats in need over the years-including living with 7 huskies all at the same time! Finding forever homes sometimes took many months, even years but it’s always been worth it and we survived! I believe that there is no such thing as a bad dog or cat, only spirited ones or ones in need of extra care, love and empathy! During college I worked at a family owned puppy store where I spent my days caring for puppies ranging from 8 weeks to a 1 year old. In addition to feeding and cleaning up after them I washed, blow-dried, brushed, fluffed, clipped nails, did some minor training and focused on slowly and carefully socializing them to children and adults looking to adopt. I have spent the majority of my life from childhood, employment, pet sitting and my personal home life, taking care of fur babies from all sizes, shapes, backgrounds, and temperaments. From the care of fragile newborn puppies to old boys with special needs and every size, and weight from little to giant sized dogs and everything in between! No dog too big, no pup too small! 0-200Lbs: they’re all puppies to me! They are all the best boys and girls and each and every one is a joy to be around!
