I have had pets in my family my entire life. Animals bring us all companionship, love and joy every day. I am patient, caring, and will keep your loved one safe. I put animals first! My husband and I have raised several dogs, a couple cats, fish, and a chinchilla over the years. At one point we had 3 dogs and a cat, full house! Went through training clases with a couple of our dogs, which was very helpful in gaining knowledge of proper training methods of other fur babies over the years. In the past, we were acive volunteers with the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, Pets have always brought me much joy and make me smile!! Love them.
