Susan B. Pet Care Provider in Johnston, IA 50131

Dogs have always been a huge part part of my life. I started working in a 500+ capacity dog kennel when I was 19. When I was in college, I worked at another local kennel in Ames. After graduation I worked full-time at PetSmart in the Pet Hotel where my main responsibility was playing with 10-15 large dogs in the front play room. I was also responsible for feeding the dogs and cleaning the facility. While working my current job in banking, I continue to keep animals in my life by volunteering at numerous animal shelters in Des Moines. I have regularly volunteered at the Animal Lifeline (a Special-Needs, No-Kill Shelter) since the Fall of 2013. I currently volunteer at the Puppy Jake Foundation by observing puppy training classes. It is my goal to become an assistant trainer in order to train service dogs for veterans with PTSD.
