I have loved and been fascinated with animals for all my life. I have worked with and cared for a variety of them, big and small, furry or with scales. I'm working on getting my license to rehabilitate wildlife, and have rehabbed several different species as a student. I have worked at an animal care facility that is a member of AZA ( Association of zoos and aquariums) as a volunteer, and I was a certified animal handler there and worked with exotics. Since I was a teen, I've been the neighborhood pet-sitter! I've cared for dogs, and puppies, cats and kittens, birds, reptiles,and even opposums. I have fur babies of my own, a dog and cats. And two very special horses let me share their lives. The sign in my backyard reads "EVERY critter welcome!" and those words are truly written on my heart. Our pets are our family.
