Summary
I'm an avid animal lover with extensive experience caring for pets of all types and ages; from dogs and cats, to exotic animals like horses and reptiles. I've had a jack Russel and a Labrador with disabilities for most of my life, which has taught me how to adapt care routines to meet health and mobility needs, and even though they've passed, I want to take initiative for pet care when I can. I am a current, longtime assistant at a foster home for Lab rescues, and looking to gaining experience in veterinary care for vet school.
