About Keira

Hi I'm Keira, I am 18 years old and a senior in high school. I have been a volunteer trainer with the Sierra At Tahoe Avalanche Dogs since I was about 10. My father runs the dog program so I grew up being taught how to train, take care of, and watch over dogs since I was a toddler. At the ski mountain I helped drill the dogs to find subjects in the snow, played, walked, fed, took to the bathroom, and watched over the dogs ages ranging from puppies to senior dogs. My family also has three dogs and three cats all of I have assisted in training, and most of the time look after on my own. I'd describe my personality as kind, energized, thoughtful I like working with animals because I have my entire life! I have gained so many connections with all animals from cows and horses to dogs and cats and even smaller animals. I love getting to know the animal and being able to foster their needs! My skills include training, being personable with the animals, and recognizing the animals needs!
