I have always been very passionate about dogs! I've been volunteering and working at various shelters and rescues since I was in junior high and somehow my enthusiasm keeps growing! I have worked as a trainer and love helping people grow their relationship with their canine companion!
I peronsally have benefited from a local animal shelter when I got my rescue dog, Maisey back in 2010. She was my failed foster dog and I regret nothing! Maisey is the sweetest pup you'll ever meet, and many of my friends tell me she makes their top 5 favorite dogs ever list! In addition to therapy dog work, Maisey enjoys long walks in our neighborhood and local parks and participating in hoops and, most recently tracking!
I think many people find that when they adopt a dog, they not only give a dog a second chance and forever home but they are also improving their own quality of life! And regardless of where I move, I will always try and support the local animal shelters that help connect these wonderful animals with their new families!
