Melina P. Pet Care Provider in Fort Collins, CO 80521

I am currently a sophomore at Colorado State University. I was previously majoring in Animal Science but have recently changed my major to Equine Science. My whole life I have been involved with animals. Back at home where I am from, I work at a vets office. I have worked there for the past year but have been around dogs and cats way before that time. I have taken care of family and family friends' pets away on vacation or for some reason unable to give their animals the attention they need. Also some of the family pets that I've taken care of have been dogs, cats, rabbits and also horses. Because of my living conditions as a child, I was never allowed to have a dog live at my house but they stayed at my grandparent's house. When I was 11 years old my dad had a dog that got pregnant on accident before we could get her spayed. Since I was the only one in the family who she trusted, I was the only one that could take care of her two puppies. I had to bottle feed them multiple times a day plus making sure that they were well taken cared of my their mom. Sadly, one of the puppies died but the other turned out to be a beautiful healthy baby girl.
