I am a Masters student at Tulane, and have had dogs and cats from a young age. My family still has a red heeler back home- that's Ruby in my banner! I fostered a dog through heartworm treatment, and though I'm currently a cat mom of a lovely senior kitty named Jade. Throughout middle school and high school, I volunteered at Austin Animal Center doing kennel tech, dog walking, and surgical recovery. I volunteer with my school's service dog raising/training program, TUSTEP, where I often need to reenforce specialized commands/behaviors while I puppysit. I have been working as a vet assistant since the summer of 2017. From my various positions, I have experience with puppies young as a month to senior dogs who need to be carried outside, dogs weighing from 5 up to 90 pounds, and pups of all energy levels.
