“Melissa has always cared for animals and does what she can to be an advocate for them. I don’t think I’ve known anyone that cares for animals as much as she does. She was always known for being the woman in the neighborhood to have found a dog and took care of it. Some qualities she has when taking care of animals are knowing how to treat them, provide comfort and playfulness, knows how to give medicine if the animal is on a special kind of medication due to a disorder, and being genuine to good quality care. She’s a wonderful individual for this job and can be trusted to do the best work for animals.”
