I've been an animal lover and owner my entire life, there's only a very short time I've ever not had a dog. I've raised puppies, fostered dogs, including pregnant and nursing mamas. My dog Capy started out as just a foster when she was pregnant, I helped her whelp and fostered her until all her pups were adopted, and then she became our foster failure and joined our family. I’ve also cared for my aging dogs in their senior years. I also have had birds, parakeets and cockatiels, and I’m also comfortable caring for small mammals and reptiles. There’s nothing I won’t do for any animal!
