I grew up helping care for dogs on our family farm since I was a child. We had hunting dogs who I provided for in our barns outside and loving, coach potato dogs inside as well. In college I worked at a pet store where I cared for puppies and dogs of all ages. I learned knowledge of many breeds and how to administer medications. Volunteering at the local dog shelter on weekends kept me busy as well. I recently lost my senior dog to cancer earlier this year and have been missing the companion lifestyle!
