I’ve had numerous dogs over the last 25 years and currently I have a special-needs border collie who I do dog agility trials with all over New England in order to keep him fulfilled and happy. I never ever give up on an animal. I volunteer with local shelters and help local animal control officers any chance that I can. I am also a matriculated student at UMA in Bangor in the veterinary technician for your bachelors of science program so I have experience working with numerous species. I am comfortable working with not only dogs and cats but also birds, lizards, rodents, ferrets, chinchillas, hedgehogs , fish and just about any other animal you could think of. I’ve been around animals my entire life and understand them better than I do humans. I have many first aid skills for animals as well and they can perform nail clips, grooming procedures and baths. I can also pill animals, both cats and Dogs, and even rats and rodents, and administer medication‘s and give SQ injections, if medically necessary. I can also do diabetic testing on dogs and cats. I have the summer off before I start school again so I have three months of a very flexible schedule for daily, weekly, overnight and weekend assignments I prefer to go to clients homes as my dog is special-needs and is not good with other animals. I always carry a canine and a feline first aid kit on me, and I am skilled in canine and feline CPR
