Greetings! My name is Talinga! I spend most of my time caring for animals, whether they are my own or animals that I work with, and I enjoy every second of it. As a teenager, I volunteered for my local animal shelter in Texas. It was a wonderful learning experience and showed me the importance of standing up for those who don’t have a voice. The impact of that volunteer experience led me to become vegetarian and then vegan. I’ve been an animal activist for 10 years now, and it’s been a rewarding and eye opening journey. I am currently working with the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, and have worked with Wag! for two years, so I have lots of experience in interacting with new animals! I’m currently offering services for AM and PM dog walking and cat check-ins. Recurring walks/check-ins welcome!
