Growing up we always had dogs who were important members of our family. I've dreamed of having a dog of my own, but have never had the space and time needed to make sure it lives the happy and free life that it deserves. As a current grad student who is new to Seattle and has a fairly flexible schedule, I hope to connect with some new furry friends who will be my companions in exploring this beautiful city! I recognize that all dogs possess unique personalities, likes, dislikes and fears. When first being introduced to a dog, I am patient and gentle while learning to understand these things about them. I love finding spaces for dogs to run and play (when possible off leash). I always enjoy the company of dogs, especially on trail walks and runs. I also love playing fetch or taking them swimming.
