I am a Veteran and Public School Teacher who has been involved with multiple pet rescues, classroom endangered species sponsorships, respite care provider and responsible pet ownership for over 30 years. Former Club Member/Advisor for 4-H. Educated at the University of Maine and Southern Maine Community College. I have a very caring personality and pride myself on being a steward for our environment and it’s resources. I have miles of walking trails behind my home and enjoy keeping up with dogs who are younger and full of energy. Also, aware of the limitations of older dogs and hyper-vigilant in monitoring their individual needs. Presently, I have a 4 year old male cat who is very independent and gets along with all types of pets. I have had Parrots, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, Rabbits and Lizards in my home and classroom. Providing respite-short term care has been my passion in life.
