About: I have been involved in animal rescue for the past 15 years. I have extensive experience with dogs with behavioral and medical issues. I have owned dogs that were extremely abused and were aggressive. I am able to respect their boundaries and create an environment that is supportive and nurturing. I also have experience with medically needy dogs. I have no issues administering medication, whether orally or with injections. One of my senior rescues that recently passed required medication every 8 hours and eye drops multiple times daily. She was aggressive and never took them without a fight but I found a way to ensure she got the care she needed to live a long and comfortable life. My current two Shih Tzus are younger. I have taken them to training and worked extensively on socializing them. I work from home so I am always available to take care of dogs. I can offer plenty of play time, potty breaks and constant supervision. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are always supervised when they go outside. I have rescued for many years. I have extensive experience with medically needy dogs and dogs with behavioral issues. Keeping the dogs safe is my number one priority. Coming into a new environment can be stressful and I understand respecting a dogs boundaries. Some dogs are not comfortable being handled in the beginning and need to adjust on their own time. My 15+ years of experience rescuing senior dogs with medical and behavioral issues has taught me each dog is different and will adjust slowly and on their own schedule.
