I grew up on a farm and around large breed dogs, mostly shepherds. I have a small breed dog now, who's diabetic. His care includes insulin shots twice daily. I have a great love for all animals but am partial to dogs and would love to one day start my own rescue for older, hurt or unwanted pets and find them their forever homes.
