I have always been an animal lover. In 2016 I went through training at my local animal shelter to become a certified dog/cat socializer. This training taught me how to interact with new dogs and cats, especially ones that are not social enough for adoption. Frequently I would go to my local shelter to play with the dogs and cats. Also, for the past four months my house has been fostering a chocolate lab puppy named Lucy (pictured). I love to go on runs and hikes, especially with dogs and five days a week I would take Lucy on walks/runs/hikes. Now that our foster puppy Lucy has left our home, I am looking to take new dogs on walks daily. If your dog or puppy is not leash trained I would be happy to train them!
