Pet Rescue/Adoption/Expert Profile
Expertise
I run a non-profit animal rescue group that specializes in dogs but also works with cats and small animals (hamsters, guinea pigs and an occasional bird). I can help you with most behavioral problems you might encounter when adopting a rescue dog as well as help you working through issues. I can help you with any questions you might have as to the pros/cons of adopting a rescue if you are considering it. I can also help you decide what breed might work best for you if you tell me exactly what you are looking for in a dog.
Experience in the area
I run a rescue group and have been doing rescue work for over 20 years.
Education/Credentials
Just experience, experience, experience!
