Pet Care Experience:
20 years of experience with pet care, holistic health care, handling and rescue. I've
written and appeared in several articles relating to animal
neglect and exploitation. Was instrumental in getting the
Elizabeth, New Jersey pound to stop its abuse of sheltered
animals. Initial article written for Elizabeth Reporter led
to another article in the Newark Star Ledger. The
aftermath of the articles resulted in an interview on Channel 9
UPN News. Here I commented on the conditions at the pound, the
ongoing neglect as well as the animals I and several others had
removed.
In
addition to the pound project, I spent 7 years working in the
Elizabeth, NJ area. 167 dogs were rescued and with the
assistance of other rescue groups, homes were found for all of
them. Having fallen in love with Daphne immediately, she became
my pet and having had to rehabilitate Buddy from a burnt pup
found in a garbage can to where she is now, I could never have
given her up. Buddy is now 13 1/2 years old and
still with me.

In Memory of my beloved Daphne 4/15/90 - 2/21/05
Daphne
went to the bridge on February 21, 2005. She was the love
of my life and the light of my soul. For those of you that
saw her in the shop, you knew of my very close bond with
her. She was in so much pain which she fought 8 times. She
just couldn't bear to leave me but it was finally
time to let her go. She is now at peace .
Buddy
is doing so much better now. It took her almost 9 months to get
over Daphne's passing. Now she is passing her time with my
sister's elderly, German Short-haired Pointer..so she is not
alone anymore.
