Tammy is very friendly and professional! Our cats are happy!

I was drawn to Tammy and her lovely older Black Lab, Wesley at Saxe Point Park one warm summer day when we first met about two years ago. Years before I too raised a wonderful Yellow Lab. Much like Wesley, she too was a trained service dog who worked with me throughout most of her life as a companion animal in senior care communities. When I first met Tammy, Wesley was sprawled on his blanket under a shade tree with a pillow to rest his weary body, with his fresh dish of water and healthy snacks and his pet stroller parked nearby to transport him as needed with his weary old bones and arthritic body. Her devotion to his care and comfort was obvious and I was immediately drawn into their loving bond. I could immediately see how devoted she was to her beloved pet as I too had been ‘well looked after’ by my own Lovable Lab years before. The bond between Wesley and Tammy was quite evident to me as well as it clearly was to many others around us that first day and many more to follow until we lost Wesley at a remarkable old age for a Lab. I am convinced he did not want to leave Tammy anymore than she wanted to see him go. I was happy to be a small part of their mutual love and devoted connection. When Tammy and I got better acquainted I saw how she always put Wesley’s needs ahead of her own and how much they each cared for one another. We often joked about the saying “it’s always about the dog’ as we both had learned from our experiences that sharing life with a dog was a lifetime commitment. I knew the pain Tammy was heading toward with Wesley who was nearing his life’s end. Having loved and lost a wonderful pet companion I similarly had devoted myself to throughout her life, I knew Tammy would be lost for a while.. But I also knew that it might not be long before she found another way to ‘give’ of herself to another in some way. I am delighted she has found your organization to do just that! Tammy’s work with your organization will be an exceptional gift for another wonderful dog and its ‘human’ companion. I would recommend her to any who need and want her services and trust. I know she will perform her duties most reliably with love. I have reviewed your web site. It looks to me like Tammy has found an organization that is carefully screening its pet caregivers such as you are doing so that Tammy once again can find her joy in giving of herself to another dog and family. I know that Tammy will treat any animal she cares for with the same care, love, respect and commitment she has demonstrated to me after watching her devotion to “our” beloved and sorely missed, Wesley. I wish her and her loving pet companions and your organization well.
