Volunteer Puppy Raiser

December 2019 - July 2021 Lake Oswego, OR
“I love working with the various temperaments of the dogs. They all have their own spunk and character and I have found it so intriguing to figure them out. I have a passion for animals and so having this opportunity to be with these amazing dogs and be a part of their training is life-changing. I am still currently involved in volunteering with GDB, just not as a full-time puppy raiser for the time being.”
