“From poodle, cats to Pit bulls I love them all!!”
I’m an athletic, animal lover who has decades of experience w/so many different kinds of animals: newborns, abused rescues, raccoons to senior dogs that need medication, I do it all! My oldest dog was almost 20yrs old, she was blind & I would cook her fav meals. Before I got her years ago they almost put her to sleep b/c she was going blind; I couldn’t allow it. I feel b/c of my TLC I gave her an extra decade on her life. These animals need our love & protection. I have no breed preferences.
