I've always had at least one animal by my side ever since I was an infant. My direct pet care experience includes dogs, cats, mice, hamsters, and fish. (Oh! I also would like to add two honorable mentions.. the toads and frogs I often see around my home. Although, there is no direct care, I like to think I have a relationship with each of them.) I currently have a family Golden Retriever named Sasha. We call her Sushie and Sashimi for short :) I've also have had the gift of being around friends' and families' animals, including goats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, rats, cats, and dogs. Also, I used to volunteer at Animal Friends, which is now called Heal Animal Rescue. It was a great experience being able to care for dogs that didn't have a permanent home or company. Some of the care I gave included cleaning their kennels to ensure that each dog had a healthy environment to live in, exercising with them, ensuring they had fresh food and water, and simply offering them company, especially since their visitors may have been sparse outside of us volunteers and staff. Animals are God's precious creatures. Each and every one is beautiful and created by God. I believe that we have been given the opportunity to steward them well and with love. Thus, it would be an honor and privilege to take care of your precious loved one.
