Laurel has cared for animals she since was a young child including rescuing cats and dogs whom she has found abandoned. Parker is one cat who was found in the parking lot wandering in a large apartment building parking lot. Parker has been a pet for nearly 4 years. Laurel has provided a good home for dogs as well. She takes them for training so that they can have a good life, enjoyed by visitors and friends. She sees to both their medical and social needs, recognizing they are both essential to the animal's quality of life.

Laurel is one of the kindest, caring, and most compassionate individuals toward people and all animals that I have ever met. Throughout most of her life, she has been committed to providing the best home and care to her dogs, cats, and even bird. Not only that, but Laurel also kindly extends a helping and nurturing hand to other animals in need, not just her own. She loves animals and I would not want anyone else to care for my pets if Laurel is around!
