Lions and Wolves and Unicorns, O My!

I have always had animals in my life, from the family dogs to employment as dog trainer and horse trainer to animal welfare organizations. I value the loyalty and honesty of animals and believe in the quote "I want to be as good as my dog thinks I am."

Currently, I am mommy to three rescue dogs: one, a female dobie abandoned by her formerly-devoted owner; one, a boxer mix who was twice relinquished; and the newest, a lab mix found wandering the streets and stuck at the shelter for longer than a month. Until 2017, I also had two rescued cats and two horses.

I enjoy working with the horses at The Gentle Barn, a farm animal rescue in Santa Clarita. In addition, I work with Omni Equus Research Center, a non-profit dedicated to rehabilitating horses and other animals from debilitating injuries.
