I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Everything from mixed breeds to Shih Tzus, Poodles, Labs and Pit Bulls. I currently have four pups: Luna, Boo, Sabrina and Bitsy. Four Pit Bulls, and the odd ball, Dachshund mix. I love all breeds, but I have a special love for pit bulls and volunteer for several rescues. I also founded a non-profit organization for pitbulls – The Pit Bull Project — as pitbulls are one of the most misunderstood dog breeds. I have worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years, but my passion has always been caring for animals. In 2000, I opened a doggie daycare/boarding/training facility in Charlotte, North Carolina, and in 2011, another facility in Fort Collins, Colorado. Life brought me to Austin, Texas in 2013, where I returned to nursing, but I’ve never given up rebuilding and growing my passion again. While I love taking care of all dogs, I love taking care of breeds that are misunderstood and others may find difficult. I will always incorporate positive training where applicable and reinforcing good manners.
