I have always had a passion for animals. I currently volunteer and foster in my spare time. My typical week involves bringing dogs from shelters on hikes, transporting to the vet, socializing, feeding, training, etc. I love the outdoors! I also babysit. Sometimes I am lucky enough to care for both children and animals.
