I'm kind and gentle, and I love getting to know a dog on an individual level. I believe it's important to recognize that dogs have their own wants, needs, and personalities, each requiring time and patience to promote understanding of the care that will result in the healthiest and happiest pup. My family has fostered dogs, with all manner of behavioral and physical issues, for years, and I have become well-acquainted with a spectrum of care ranging from running with healthy puppies to leading older, blind dogs. I presently live in a household with three dogs, so I have day-to-day knowledge and experience about the proper techniques to care for them. I will value each individual dog’s life more than my own, and I'm eager to meet the level of care you might demand for your special, furry friend.
