I've had cats and dogs my entire life, but I started taking more responsibility in high school when my childhood dog started getting older and needed more attention. And then shortly after, my brother brought home an injured feral kitten that I helped care for and socialize. So, I'm very good with high-needs animals and have experience administrating medications. I have a 15-month-old Australian shepherd I've raised since he was eight weeks old. I've worked hard to train and socialize him, taking countless hours of seminars, group classes, and private lessons. He's a high-energy working dog, so I've learned how to thoroughly exercise dogs and provide plenty of mental stimulation and enrichment. I also have experience grooming him myself, as he's a long-haired dog.
