What made you decide to pursue a career working with animals?

My entire life I have had animals, and each one holds a special place in my heart. No matter my mistakes and imperfections, my animals always remind me that I am loved anyway. I truly believe animals are a blessing from God; a way for us to be even closer to Him. My past, present, and future pets are a little piece of Heaven. I decided to choose a career that heals and nurtures these amazing creatures because they have healed me in many ways too! Nothing brings me more joy than helping animals!
