I have loved and cared for dogs from a very young age; I have never been without (or forgotten) a furry friend. My current canine companions include a 14-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix named "Murch" and an 8-year-old Doberman named "Melle", both of whom I rescued and have lovingly cared for since puppyhood. My extensive experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures my comfortability with all breeds. I’m agreeable to feeding, grooming and walking any dog as well as multiple dogs. I have volunteered at various animal shelters and humane societies for over 10 years, most recently the Pasadena Humane Society. This has given me invaluable insights into the intricacies of animal communications and how best to respond to specific needs and personality traits. I focus on the unique qualities in every animal I meet so I can connect with them personally. I consider myself an advocate for the world’s creatures.
