Cheryl (cherie) J. Pet Care Provider in Altoona, WI 54720

Starting at three years old, my first dog, Bingo was my best buddy. Since then animals have been a big part of my life as my own fur-kids and also in ways that help those not so fortunate.
First-hand experience over the years has been the best teacher; always there to learn and care for my own as well as the pets of friends and neighbors.

I have been a member, volunteer, part-time employee and Executive Board Member of the Eau Claire County Humane Association for 41 years. My experiences with them have been irreplaceable. I've dealt with various diseases and conditions, parasites, injuries and trauma, and the ever-present conditions that come with neglect. Pregnancies, delivery, neutering and spaying and the post treatment for these cats and dogs.

Unfortunately, psychological problems and conditions are frequent visitors at any shelter and we had to deal with those.

I have always been a person who loves to learn so keep up with newsletters, home courses etc. I have had a course in Pet First Aid and CPR. I've used the First Aid knowledge in several instances over the years.
I think the love and the no-exclusions touch I give is probably the best thing (both for me and the pet).
Per your request, I can direct you to the families of pets I have cared for, members of my local Humane Assoc., members of the Cat Club I belong to and volunteers I have worked with in support of cats and dogs.
My only warning to prospective families is, "I absolutely will spoil this fur-kid you have."
