I have had my own pets since 1995. Over the years I have gained lots of knowledge and experience in caring for them. I have removed sutures, administered medications, cleaned and bandaged wounds, taken care of them overnight after surgeries. I am very hands on and confident with all animals and caring for them.

I took in an abandoned puppy to care for him because he was too small to be in the shelter. I brought him home, fed, cleaned and kept him safe until I found a forever home for him.
