About Me: It's fun to know our members a little bit.: I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 ferrets, 1 husband, 1 last, tired, frayed nerve. :-)
I worked for 2 years as a care giver to 3 African elephants at the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee, an amazing non profit organization which takes in unwanted elephants. Please check them out at www.elephants.com.
I love all animals! I am a certified animal massage practioner, and own my own pet care biz called Mind Body Dog. I provide dog walking, pet care and massage, specializing in pets with special needs. I am a former veterinary assistant and worked at Holistic Pet Vet Clinic and Back On Track Vet Rehab. I am currently working as a trainer with Behave Canine Solutions and working toward my certification. My goal is to help dogs with behavior issues using a holistic approach including training, massage, T-Touch and nutrition. In my spare time I work with numerous animal welfare organizations and rescue groups. Whew, I'm a busy girl.

What Kind of Dog(s) Do You Have? What are their name(s)? It's nice to know.: Maggie: rescued from a shelter in TN as a puppy. Greyhound/lab/? mix
Miela: hubby rescued from humane society in TN. Aussie/Heeler mix.
Rufus: rescued from a highway in rual TN. Ridgeback/Boxer mix
Morgan: adopted from New Life shelter in Portland. Her owner dropped her off after 9 years. Just had bi-lateral knee surgery and is recovering. Chihuahua/Jack mix.

I've heard great things about you! Would you like to grab coffee sometime when you're not hanging out with your four-legged household?
