For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life & have helped take care of them. From a young age, I helped my parents take care of our cats & dogs by being responsible for feeding them & making sure they have access to clean water. As I entered elementary school, I helped my parents take care of our neighbors pets while they were out of town & then eventually took over these responsibilities on my own. Most of my expereince throughout elementary, middle & high school involved pet sitting for cats as those are the animals most of my neighbors & extended family members had. However, during my first summer in college I began working for my county's humane society! My county's humane society only rescues & houses dogs. My employment with the humane society gave me the opportunity to work with a variety of different dogs as you can imagine. I now have expereince working with & caring for dogs of all breeds, ages & temperment. During my time with the humane society, I developed special skills including taking care of puppies, caring for senior dogs, & interacting with dogs who have temperment quirks. I have been involved with the humane society first in as an employee & now as a volunteer for over 2 years & during this time animal rescue & care has truly become my greatest passion. I look forward to applying the expertise I have acquired when it comes to taking care of your furry family members!
