My whole life I have grown up with multiple dogs and other pets. I now have two dogs of my own, a Cockapoo (Bella) and a Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mix (Oreo). I’ve always been obsessed with dogs and have volunteered at Paws and Oak Park Animal Care League socializing where I was responsible for socializing, waking, and general care of the dogs there. I have also been walking dogs on the side for several months now and have learned how to encourage stubborn dogs to go on their walks and how to handle young puppies. This has provided me with the experience of caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I know every dog is unique and has its own quirks, which is what makes being around dogs so much fun!
