I have been an absolute dog lover since the age of 4 when I got my first puppy Daisy Mae as a surprise Christmas present. Since then, I have never lived without a dog in my home and by my side. I'm so sad to say that both of my precious dogs Moses & Bella passed away due to old age within the last year, and I am not yet ready to replace the special relationship we shared- so, I decided to start here on Rover, as I miss the dogs so terribly! I have a very soft spot for all animals, I grew up on a mini farm in the country with horses, dogs, cats- I have always had a deep connection with animals , we are able to form a bond and trust very quickly. Through the years I've adopted/fostered several dogs as well- trained them, and ultimately brought them in to loving new homes. I am patient, kind, and pay close attention to their needs. I believe dogs are such incredible loyal best friends, deserving the same love, affection & attention they so selflessly give!
