Hey! My name’s Summer. I’m passionate advocate for all animals and children. My passion for dogs began with doing Manitoba Junior Handling and fostering puppies at the young age of three. Since then I have raised dogs, fishes, cats, and birds! I enjoy volunteering at Winnipeg Animal Services and Winnipeg Animal Rescue to walk dogs since the recent passing of all my pups. I raised 2 Shep/Huskies, and rescued a retriever named Cassie who became a tripod. Since then I have switched careers from Respite/Support work to the dog world! I enjoy training and specialize with big, reactive dogs. I look forward to meeting you and your pups!
