Thanks again, Philip!”


20. Jeremiah W.
“I believe Jeremiah would provide great care for all pets that he would be responsible for. He is very compationate towards animals and would provide a safe environment to the best of his ability. He has been a big part of 2 of his own dogs lives since they were puppies, one for 9 years until he past and the other for 10 years and she is still with us. I hope he is given strong consideration for this position. Thank you. Susan T.”
