I have been around dogs and animals my entire 23 years years of life. Growing up, I had a large yellow lab. Not only did we have a dog but also birds, bunnies, hamsters, and fish to take care of. Currently I have a medium sized terrier mix who loves to run and play fetch. I volunteered at my local pet shelter, caring for the dogs and cats, cleaning their cages, and taking them for walks. Because of that, I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of breeds, sizes, and personalities! I absolutely love caring for animals and being outdoors with them. In school, I was fascinated with animals and decided to focus on animal behavior within the area of biology. My school even allowed students to live with their pets so I even lived with dogs and cats throughout my entire time at college. I love to be outside hiking, walking, biking, and kayaking and bringing a furry friend along makes it even more enjoyable!
