Shannon is very comfortable with administering medications should your dog need it, as Cooper, and her previous German Shepherd, Riley, both took medications for chronic conditions. She currently volunteers at the Humane Society of Washington County, and in 2017, she volunteered at Riverside County Coachella Valley Animal Shelter in California, walking mostly pits and large breeds. She loves being active and fit, runs her Shepherd everyday, and understands the importance of a worn out dog. She is current on the American Red Cross Dog First Aid/CPR Certification. Lastly, she is a Nurse Practitioner (and former military officer), so your dog and your home are in safe hands. Rest assured, Shannon will take great care of your doggos, with fun & and safety being the goal! ABOUT JIM: Jim lives with his wife in Montgomery County, MD. Shannon is his only kid, but he does have 1 fur-kid, a Wheaten Terrier/Poodle named Duffy. Jim is retired from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Postal Service, so he has an open schedule. He got his first dog when he was 16 years old, had three dogs in his teen years, along with two dogs and two cats at various times while in the military. He has unfortunately become allergic to cats though over time, so Shannon is the go-to for cats. As a dog owner, Jim understands the human-dog bond, and has always made it a priority to care for them like a family member. Jim started doing visits with Shannon so he could have "something fun" to do now that he is fully retired!
