I have always been one to gravitate towards animals and wildlife. I received a biology degree and can remember my first dog as an 8 year old and have had one ever since then. I've volunteered at animal shelters, primarily providing walking services, and am currently helping out with a local rescue group. I've had sheep, rabbits, cats, dogs and even quail as pets growing up in rural Pennsylvania, so I'm no stranger to almost any pet. I enjoy the outdoors and frequently take my dogs with me on hikes. I enjoy playing with dogs, whether it's tug of war, fetch, frisbee, chase me, or simply hanging out. Pets rely on us to provide them with safety, shelter, and love and they say thank you by providing us with companionship only experienced through them.
