I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles you name it. If it fits in the house, I've probably raised some. I grew up in the country training companion and huniting dogs. I have a little Cattle Dog mix named Charlie who is whip-smart and loves other dogs, and she has reinvigorated my passion for caring for animals. I work part-time at a restaurant, and I'm a comedian at night, and this leaves me with a lot of free time during the day and on weekends to care for animals.
