Hi! My name is Laura. Apart from my childhood experiences growing up with and caring for my family dog, I am a recent college graduate with an Animal Science degree whose sole passion is the care of animals. While in school, I became involved with The Seeing Eye Guide School's puppy raising program. As a full-time student, I raised a female German Shepherd from a tiny 6-week-old puppy to a one year old adult. I assumed all the responsibilities of a dog owner, which included feedings, walking, vet care, and training. When my own pup returned to The Seeing Eye for formal training, I continued to share my experience with younger raisers and puppy-sat other dogs-in-training at least once a week. I received many compliments on my attentive care and training knowledge. I now work full-time at a top tier veterinary school and my role there still involves caring for creatures big and small. I hope to use this site to continue sharing my passion for first-rate animal care. I hope to meet your pup soon!
