I’ve been such an animal lover since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up around lots of animals and always have had a passion to help animals, since they can’t speak. My family and I own a little family ranch and we have horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and chickens. I was formerly working retail and decided to switch and do something I enjoy. W
I’ve been such an animal lover since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up around lots of animals and always have had a passion to help animals, since they can’t speak. My family and I own a little family ranch and we have horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and chickens. I was formerly working retail and decided to switch and do something I enjoy. When I went into HSW for a interview I got a chance to go around and meet the animals. I knew immediately that was my calling, I wanted to help all the animals and see them all go to their new homes. I’m also pursuing a career to become a Vet Technician. Since I’m so interested in that field I see myself continuing education and one day becoming a Veterinarian.
