I am a 57 year old retiree. Worked for 30 years at the same job. I was raised in the country with animals of all sorts. I'm an avid animal lover but dogs are my passion. I have rescued 2 dogs since retiring in 2014, which has been very rewarding to me. I do believe they deserve a second chance at a good life. I have also previously owned cats and being a single father I am familiar with all inside animals as well as outside from my own childhood days on the farm. I am also compassionate for elder animals as I have lost a 21 and a 14 year old after much love and devotion from them.
