Do you ever shop online? Maybe for your pet, yourself, or a loved one? Well, I have become ADDICTED to a site that gives you cash back for your online purchases, and they also make sure you know about all the deals at your favorite retailers. I have earned $40 cash back so far (not including the money I saved with deals) from shopping online at ULTA, Amazon, Walmart, etc. If this interests you at all, click the button below and start earning!
Animals are my Life
I love animals...I don't understand people who don't love animals. But I absolutely despise people who harm animals, ANY animal. That's why I want to do my best to save any animal that has been wronged by people.
I'm currently enrolled in college, going for an Associate in Business Degree. I hope to one day start a resuce that will focus on helping antisocial ("aggressive" to most) dogs and cats become comfortable with people. So basically I want to save "unadoptable" dogs and cats from certain death, and make them adoptable. I also want to have space to save FIV positive and Leukemia positive cats, who are often immediatly euthanized, despite the fact that they can live with a high quality of life with their diseases.
Before college I worked over 2 1/2 years at a PetSmart PetHotel as a Nighttime Pet Care Specialist. I met many different dogs and cats. I am also currently volunteering at a local dog and cat rescue called Home 'Fur' Good. So I have a lot of experience with those animals. I used to take horse back riding, and learned some basic care of those animals, and am very comfortable with them (really, I'm comfortable with all animals). I've also worked another 6 months at the same PetSmart PetsHotel, gaining a little more experience. I have to quit again for school, but they are keeping me on as a seasonal employee.
UPDATE: The summer of 2010 I interned at the Wildlife World Zoo, where I worked with the hoof stock animals and a few different species (birds, small mammasl, and reptiles) in the Education Department. This opportunity was a great experience for me. During my time working at the zoo I saved 7 of the feeder mice from certain doom; adopting 3 myself, and giving 4 to a friend. Below you will see pictures of me with different zoo animals.
UPDATE: During the summer of 2011 I volunteered for a month at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. They are the largest animal sanctuary in the U.S. and I learned a lot from them. I also took a week long, great workshop about starting your own nonprofit, which included getting finances for it that I think will be very beneficial to me. I volunteered with the birds and bunnies (only one day each), horses and pigs (a few times each), and cats and dogs (majority). I fell in love with many animals, of course, and it was hard to leave. But I am excited about using the knowledge I learned from my trip to start and run my own rescue.
UPDATE: My last day of school was May 2nd, 2013. I am so happy to be done with school and to get even closer to my dream of opening my own small scale animal rescue! I've applied to the Humane Society for an Adoption Counselor position (crossing my fingers!).
UPDATE: I did not get the Arizona Humane Society position, but I did get an animal care job at HALO Animal Rescue.
My parents always tell me, "you can't save them all," and all I can think is, "why not?"
