Dogs are girl’s best friend

I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training.

Shirley was a very pleasant lady. She took the best care of my fur baby. Would definitely recommend her.

Shirley is the best with my pet! She’s always loving and caring for any of my needs I wanted for my little fur babies! Always easy to coordinate with anytime I need & over all amazing.

Shirley has shown incredible compassion and dedication as a dog foster. She’s cared for three foster dogs, giving each one a safe and loving home during their time of need. One special black lab stole her heart—and became a permanent member of her family. Her kindness and commitment have made a real difference in the lives of these animals.
