I have owned 10 dogs all my life, I currently own 3, as well as cats and birds. I love all animals and I am a very affectionate person. Animals deserve to be taken well care of and happy most of all. I am very flexible and reliable to meet all of the dogs' needs as well as other animals and owners. I can provide care to animals other than dogs except for snakes and spiders. I am a teacher, currently off for the summer. My schedule is flexible and full-time. After August 5th, my schedule will change. I will update my profile come August 5th. I am Deaf and communicate primarily through American Sign Language but I can also read lips and talk a bit. Texting and emails are my primary modes of communication.
