I have been with PAWS since 1998 and have enjoyed every day of it. Though I did not get my first dog until I was an adult, I have loved animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember. All of our animals have been rescues, including my daughter’s rabbits and rats, all long gone now. Our dogs have all been American Eskimos or Eskie crosses, and my current buddy and fourth dog, Fella, is 14 now. We are both slowing down a bit, but greatly enjoy our time together. I have taken care of many kinds of animals and birds since getting together with PAWS, including reptiles and rodents, and find them all equally interesting, though currently I mostly care for cats. And after so long, I have made many friends, human as well as animal, which has brought me much pleasure.

There is not another job in the world where you get such a wonderful welcome just by coming in the door!
