Animal Care
I've owned cats and dogs my whole life and have become interested in a future career in Animal Care/Grooming as well. I have a lot of experience caring for cats and dogs, such as feeding, bathing/grooming, and waste disposal. I have moderate experience in medication administration and medical care. I have a willingness to learn more about dog training and caring for aggressive animals with protection equipment (for myself and/or the animal). I have always done well around animals of all kinds and have always known that I want to work with them in some way as a career.
