I grew up with cats, actually, but I adopted my first dog, Ripley (an American Staffordshire mix I named in honor of Sigourney Weaver's character in ALIEN), over 5 years ago, and I've have been a canine fiend ever since (don't worry, I still like cats). I've been volunteering with Angel City Pit Bulls (a foster-based rescue organization here in L.A.) for over two years, which has entailed walking and transporting various dogs of a "pit bull" variety. I love all breeds, however, and have found myself to have a natural ability to bond with all four-legged friends :) I walk dogs daily as an independent dog walker as well as via Wag, and I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments and can easily adapt to any situation.
