About Shannon

For the past three years I have been employed by an animal hospital as a kennel attendant. There, my duty is to focus on the boarders having a safe and comfortable stay at the kennel. I have experience working with both cats and dogs as the kennel houses have both. I do not have any breed restrictions, as I have worked with many different breeds (ranging from Great Danes to tea cup Yorkies, as well as many breeds of cats). I try to be active when watching pets, taking the dogs on long walks/playing fetch and playing with toys with the cats. At home I also have three dogs. Two 5-year-old Yorkies and a 9-year-old Labrador Retriever. Due to some of their health problems, I have experience administering pills and liquid medicine. Due to my experience, I am very understanding of the different personalities all animals may have. I act accordingly. For example, if a rescue dog has previously been abused, I will work very slowly with him/her and not cross any personal boundaries he/she may have. Animals are one of my biggest passions in life and I enjoy having the opportunity to work with them on a daily basis!
