Hello, my name is Melissa. I am 23 years old and have been raised with pets all my life. I currently have a Mini Australian Shepard puppy 7 months currently in age. He always is a joy especially watching him grow from his puppy stage towards adulthood. Throughout my teen and adult years i have had dogs starting with anxiety, to having mange it surely was a challenge but with all the resources it has been an adventure caring for these creatures who become family. I currently live in a house with a large back yard, in a calm animal friendly neighborhood where my puppy is the joy to everyone and has been able to be free to enjoy being outside as well we have a back screened patio where he loves to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. Being a student and having a love towards animals I found this to be the greatest opportunity. I am open to caring any dog breed, any size. I am excited to start this new journey and enjoy these precious living creatures that are family.
