My name is Melissa! I'm 21 years old and a recent graduate of the University of Georgia. My degree is in Animal Science, so I'm very comfortable with any and all animals. I've had the same dog since I was in second grade, but she's living with my parents so I definitely miss her! I also had a service dog in training for a little over a year. So what that means is when I was a sophomore here at UGA, I trained a yellow lab for the Guide Dog Foundation and he's now a seeing eye dog for a man in Washington! Now, I have my own personal dog that my fiancé and I raise together - she is a wonderful two-year-old walker hound who is the sweetest!
