Volunteer

Having all pets that were either rescued or adopted from another home that needed help, it is gratifying to know that I could make a vital change in the future of a helpless animal that I don’t necessarily have to take home.

The Loves of My Life

I live with my wiggly Billy (a miniature pinscher), my lively Indy girl (a pitbull mix), 2 very entertaining cats - Keoke and Scooter Dude, a beautiful cornsnake named Primus and most high maintenance of all, my sweet boyfriend Jake.

Passion and Hobbies:

  • What Puts Me At Ease – Yoga, playing my guitar, tap dancing, hiking with the dogs in the great outdoors of Portland, and pizza!
  • Exploring Portland and Surrounding Areas, including, but not limited to – restaurants, rivers, dog parks, disc golf parks, the McMenamins, and the many street fairs, farmer’s markets and festivals.
  • Gardening – Mostly in early spring through early fall. I love the smell of fresh picked tomatoes and basil!
  • Food – Love the pressure of cooking 3-5 courses at the same time and hoping for mmms and yums, but mostly love to be spoiled at a really good restaurant.
