About Me: I am honest, reliable, and motivated, and have been passionate about animals my entire life. I have always wanted to be someone that pets and their parents could trust and look to for help. When I was only a small child, I decided I wanted to become a veterinarian when I grew up, and since then that dream has evolved more toward a career helping people understand and communicate more effectively with their fur babies. It brings me so much joy to see that spark in their eye when I've made that connection! And while that is my dream as a career, my ultimate life goal is to own and operate an animal sanctuary, open to all critters who haven't been shown the love they desperately need and deserve. I have been raising and training dogs since childhood- including a Golden Retriever, Newfoundland, and shepherd-retriever mix (lots of energy and strength!); I have experience with dogs from sizes toy to giant, as well as experience caring for cats, goats, rabbits, smaller rodents, fish, and birds!
