I have been around pets and animals since I can remember — I grew up on a farm with cows, horses, goats, and chickens, and of course our well-loved family cats and dogs, ranging from a tiny chihuahua to a Catahoula and a Rottweiler. I also volunteered at animal shelters in high school and have since fostered multiple pets, and through these experiences I’ve learned a lot about the behaviors, care, and training of animals, including taking care of any special needs and administering medication. I also have experience with reptiles.
