I am a University of Michigan grad currently in an MD/PhD program at the University of California, San Diego. I absolutely love dogs and all other creatures, and am a regular foster parent for the San Diego Humane Society, through which I have fostered dogs, puppies, bottle-fed kittens, and small animals. (I most recently fostered a dog and her litter of six newborn puppies for 12 weeks, until they were big enough to be adopted last April! :) ). I have one dog of my own, named Lynx. I have grown up and lived with animals my entire life and childhood — dogs, cats, ferrets, birds... basically everything! I have an immense amount of experience working with numerous types of animals, including dogs who are aggressive, shy, fearful, or in need of training. I currently work primarily remotely, so I will be around your animal for the large part of each day, and have plenty of time for walks, parks, play, and just hanging out.
