I grew up having a family dog throughout my life, and finally was able to get a dog of my own 6 years ago and it was the best decision I could have made. I consider myself to be a very patient and understanding person who is able to work well under stressful situations where quick decisions need to be made. I also volunteer my free time at a local animal shelter, where I walk and care for the dogs until they find their forever home. I am very comfortable around any kind of dog and am well aware of the attention and affection they require to be as happy as can be!
