Pets have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog at three years old when I told my mom that I did not want to share a puppy with her! I loved her from the time she was 8 weeks until she passed at 14 years old. From there, I was hooked. We never had less than 5 dogs in my house at a time, and they all have lived long and happy lives. I currently have 2 rescue pups and a rescue kitty who I love immensely. On top of my personal experience, I worked as a kennel technician and adoptions counselor for 2 years, as well as years of volunteering prior to employment. Working with animals in the shelter ignited my passion and now I plan to go to vet school! I learned a plethora of useful skills during my employment. I trained underneath our lead dog trainer during my entire time at the shelter. From there, I personally took animal behavioral training course as well as basic medical courses. I have experience with animal aggression as well as shy or fearful animals. I also worked part time in the shelter’s vet clinic when needed. Pets are a huge part of my life and I am hoping they will be for a long time. When I watch your fur-baby, I treat them as my own.
