"My own reason why is related to my difficulties after being discharged from the Navy. I struggled to adapt and deal with my own mental health until I adopted a little blue heeler that was not fitting in the home that she was in. I found my companion and my fellow misfit. Her unconditional love was my anchor and the start of my 20+ years of animal welfare and me finding my passion in veterinary medicine."
