My Avocation

I am a life-long teacher of both people and animals. My secondary passion includes working with dogs, training and competing with them. I share my love of animals with fellow dog lovers by helping them achieve their training goals as well.

Dog Rescue

I am owned by three wonderful dogs who are all rescued at some point in their lives. I feel very strongly about rescue versus buying a puppy. My youngest pup came to live with me because I opened my home as a foster and he didn't go any further than my front doorstep. 

Volunteer

I continue to volunteer as a temporary foster home, transportation, evaluations and educating fellow volunteers and adoptors for New England Border Collie Rescue. This activity is extremely rewarding for both the human and the canines involved.
