From small breed to large breed dogs, former feral cats, timid rescues or fancy cats I've raised them, growing up on acreage we constantly had pets dumped at the end of our driveway and my family made a point of getting rescuers who needed that happier life. From seniors, chronic health conditions, or with disabilities, even some not so normal pets I've done it all. I just finished getting my obedience and puppy training certification from the Canadian professional dog trainer association. I'm working on starting a vet assistant program in the spring and have started some pre course work. I've done volunteer work with SPCA and private animal rescues helping recover and rescue pets who have run away, disappeared during car accidents or got left in unfortunate situations. In my personal backpack I'm always carrying spare poop bags, leashes, collar, harness and disposable pet boots. I haven't left the house in the last 7 years without treats and poop bags in my pockets and I'm always picking up random piles that other pet parents fail to collect during their walks. I'm trained in medicine administration for oral and injection. If your pet isn't a free range eater I'll sit with them when eating and follow your instructions to the T to how they take there food. I'm also trained in swift water and ice/cold water rescue techniques and I've thrown myself into lakes and rivers to rescue people's dogs that have gotten away from them during walks. My passion for animals goes beyond owning them and nothing makes me happier then seeing a happy pet. I've been told by a number of people I'm the dog whisperer or snow white with how I've managed to get pets that friends have never seen (cats) or who hate everyone calm down and be my best friend. If you have any questions, concerns feel free to send me any thing you need clarification on. Dogs I've owned - Dachshunds (wired hair and short hair), Irish Wolfhounds, Great Mountain Pyrenees, Italian Spinone (hound), Siberian husky, Tahitian Spaniel, Double Doodle, German Shepherd and a number of senior dogs who just needed that last bit of company before their passing Cats - Maine coon Bengal cross, Asian leopard Bengal, Calico, Sphinx, Norwegian Forest, Bombay short hair. I've also owned and maintained salt and fresh water aquariums (25 gallon fresh water, 40 gallon Salt water) and terrariums for Salamanders and Red Toed Tree Frogs Before moving to to Alberta I was running my own dog walking, pet sitting, drop in visits and yard scooping service in BC. I'm aiming to restart after I've finished my vet assistant course.
