I volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout middle and high school where I assisted in animal care at the shelter. Some of my responsibilities included walking dogs of all sizes, and cleaning cages for dogs, cats, and litters of puppies. I have always enjoyed being around animals. I grew up with cats, but for the past 5 years have had two dogs of my own who I love, so I have been around and worked with animals for my whole life. I work predominantly on the weekend so I am free most weekdays (and certain times on the weekends) and have my own transportation. I love animals and being outside and would love the opportunity to work with dogs in some of my free time!
