I have personally raised many types of animals over the years and keep myself informed on proper care of them. Currently I have 2 dogs and 4 cats but have also had ferrets, hamsters, lizards and snakes. I can usually get a pet who is unfamiliar to me to warm up by how I approach them and I love meeting new fur friends.
