Hi, I am John. I have always had a warm spot in my heart for dogs and would love to help keep your dog happy and healthy, providing his or her daily walk with Wag! I grew up and have lived with many different breeds of dogs, from Miniature Pinchers and Poodles to Boxers and Sheep Dogs. I have experience as a veterinary assistant, a shelter volunteer, and I have cared for a litter of nine healthy puppies from birth until adoption. I am responsible, knowledgable and clear-headed. I understand that dogs are as different from one another as people, and look forward to meeting your special friend!

I can’t wait to meet your dog! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have rescued several abandoned dogs and cats from the street. I am also a vegetarian of 14 years and a certified meditation instructor. People have commented that I get along better with animals than humans as I can quickly develop a bond with animals and have a ton of patience. I am also certified in wilderness first response, CPR, and Leave No Trace. I hope to meet you and your dog(s!) soon!

“Conscientious and thoughtful pet care :)”
I have been around animals my whole life. As a child I studied dog behavior and training which helped give me knowledge on the proper ways to handle and interact with them. I have an excellent understanding of how dogs work and I feel I and know well how to care for them in a variety of situations. I have cared for many dogs both of my own and of others'.

At first, the society worked to the benefit of children, livestock and working animals. As conditions changed, the mission shifted to companion animals and pets. Today, The Humane Society shelters more than 12,000 animals every year, maintains more than a dozen Humane Programs, and is at the forefront of progressive animal welfare. This is "paw-sitively" an exceptional organization with services that include a pet food bank, pet loss grief support group, spay and neuter services, microchip plus foster and adoption services.
With a commitment to saving lives, the volunteers help save as many animal lives as possible by collaborating with and supporting both local and out-of-state shelters, rescue groups, and animal welfare programs who find themselves overwhelmed by full kennels. They provide education and bi-annual newsletters with updates and tips. Donors help to raise funds for veterinary care as well as helping with the costs of saving lives.
