Lauren T. Pet Care Provider in Freeburg, IL 62243

I have over fifteen years of animal handling experience, which includes caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I have experience giving both oral and topical medications to both dogs and cats. Additionally, I also have experience working with special needs animals that include blind, deaf and tripod animals.

As a former foster home for Partners 4 Pets, I learned how to rehabilitate animals that were abused and abandoned and prepare them for their loving forever homes. I am also a member of Therapy Dogs International (T.D.I.). My Chihuahua, Adriel, and I have been providing touch therapy to schools, nursing homes, kids’ clubs, hospice patients, etc. for over six years.

Additionally, I am a member of All American Dachshund Rescue. I assist with transporting rescued Dachshunds to their foster/forever homes. Furthermore, I also manage the rescue’s Instagram account, which features adoptable Dachshunds.

I currently volunteer at the APA of Missouri with my three-legged dog, Penny. I assist in teaching the humane education class to birthday parties as well as Boy and Girl Scout groups. I greatly enjoy educating youth about the importance of humane treatment of all animals.
