I volunteer at animal sanctuaries and foster dogs.

I feel compassion for all beings, animals included. As such, I have volunteered at many animal sanctuaries in and out of the United States. Further, I have fostered well over a dozen animals that needed temporary placement in order to prevent being euthanized.

Additional Information

I am diligent, responsible, empathic and capable. If I set my mind on something, I rarely give up.
