I grew up on a farm, and have been around animals my whole life. I love all types of animals, but dogs, of course, are my favorite. =) I have trained and worked with many size and aged dogs, and I have a few rescues of my own- two lab mixes, plus a crazy cattle dog mix, that are my babies. I also help potty-train fosters to help them get a home. Working with dogs is my favorite hobby! And it's a great excuse to get outside for long walks! I'm also a Science teacher, so I have turtles, a snake, a gecko, guinea pigs, and other animals in my classroom. It's a great way to teach kids about Science but also about compassion and treating living things with kindness. I look forward to meeting your furry friends!
