I have been an animal lover from day one. When I was growing up, we always had cats and dogs, and so when I went away to school, I always missed them terribly. When I finally graduated and got my own apartment, I brought my two cats Cosmo and Sawyer with me from home. They have followed me from St. Louis, to Charleston, S.C., to Chicago. I have worked with animals over the past couple years, either in pet stores or by volunteering at shelters and with animal activist organizations. I am thrilled to be working for Windy City Paws because I will get the chance to meet new dogs and cats and spend my day with them!
