I have owned dogs for the past 30 years. I currently have two rescues, one with special needs, one healthy. I also have an 11-month-old terrier pup. Dogs are my absolute passion (allergic to cats). I devote a good part of my day tending to their needs. My ideal job would be to be able to work in this field.
