My love for dogs was instilled in me, I believe, since birth. I never remember having a childhood without dogs. Whether it was a stray dog or two that I cared for (and had unknowingly made my pet) or having my own dog at a young age who was my responsibility. My love for animals blossomed into my adulthood when my first job as a veterinary assistant truly opened my eyes and paved the road towards some day becoming a veterinarian. My love and passion for the well being of dogs and animals alike have shaped me into the responsible, fun and patient person I am today!
