I've been a lover of all creatures since I was in diapers! From ants and beetles, to snakes and lizards.. dogs, cats, horses and really anything else you can think of. I used to pretend like I was Dr. Doolittle (still do my family says!) Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. There aren't very many animals that will wait for you all day long just to greet you with that unconditional, emotional lick or wag of the tail when you walk through the door every single day. I have been caring for dogs since I was 8 years old. We had our own to walk, feed, bath and love but I also took care of family members & neighbors pets. I always said I would be a veterinarian but those cards didn't play out just right. So, since then I've taken every opportunity I can find to foster, adopt, volunteer and care for dogs & cats. As an adult, I have raised 3 puppies. An Australian Shepard, a Rottweiler & a German Shepard. I've adopted 3 dogs from the shelter. All of which required significant medical care/treatment. And also adopted 2 cats from the shelter. I'm comfortable and confident with administering medication and wound care. I am also able and willing to care for animals who may need a little extra help.
