I am a passionate and energetic biology student at the University of Utah. I grew up in Colorado and back home I have 3 fur babies that I couldn't bring with me to school, and I am very pet-sick. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, they are a very important part of my life. From the age of 8, I joined 4H and I adopted and trained my own puppy, and that experience not only made me much more responsible but definitely made me respect dogs on a different level. I firmly believe that dogs are therapeutic and anytime spent with them makes you happier. I also believe that caring and loving dogs, and other animals, takes a lot of love and a lot of patience, both of which I feel like I express greatly. I love dogs and I feel this is a perfect opportunity to get some quality times with some fantastic pups, all the while getting outside and being active!
