Experience

While my work career has gone in many directions, my life has always revolved around animals. I was raised in 4H animal husbandry, and as an adult have taken care of many different species, including a wide array of amphibians and reptiles, a wide variety of rodents as pets or feeders, purebred show cats, exotic pets like hedgehogs and ferrets, and even some experience with binturongs, raptors, gila monsters, and short-tail possums. I'm well versed in the importance of sanitation, safety and other protocols and strive for perfection. I have experience giving medications via topical, intramuscular, subcutaneous, and oral routes. I have a sharp eye for spotting signs of abnormal behavior or illness. I'm good with my hands, building or repairing and doing routine maintenance tasks. This job is an amazing opportunity and I appreciate your consideration.
