My love and passion for animals started at a very young age. I grew up in a family who treated animals as if they were their kids. Every time I saw any stray animal on the streets, I would pick them up and bring them home until the owner was found. I always volunteered at local shelters, but I wanted to be more involved in animal welfare so I joined a local rescue group. Shortly after, I became the president of the rescue organization. I rescued dogs from the shelters and I fostered them until they recovered from their injuries (emotional and physical) and found loving homes. I have 20 years of experience in caring for dogs of all sizes, age and breeds. I love spending time with my family, enjoy beach walks with my dogs and rafting.
