I was born in San Francisco and spent the first 15
years growing up in Daly City near the San
Francisco border. When I was in high school, we
moved in to The City where I attended St. Rose
Academy.
My mom comes from a long history of all types of
dogs, birds and other small animals. Her mother
owned a grooming salon for several years in San
Francisco during the 1960's. My dad's parents
were Italian immigrants at the turn of the 20th
century, so to them animals were livestock that
were to be kept outside. However, when he
married my mom and had me and my four
brothers and sisters, he got accustomed to the
various types of dogs, birds, hamsters, rabbits, fish
and reptiles that filled up the house.
I continued that tradition when I moved out at 19
and took the family dog with me. Actually, he was
my dog, but everybody loved Prezo! I have never
been without a dog in my life, and I, also, have
had a variety of rabbits, hamsters, fish and birds
all successfully living in rental housing throughout
the Bay Area since 1983.
I want to give to you all the knowledge and
experience I have a accumulated in a lifetime of
having pets and over 25 years of successfully
living in rental housing.
I have also titled several dogs in competition
obedience, agility, disc dog, conformation, rally
obedience and temperament testing. You can see
these dogs on the My Pets page.
I spent several years volunteering in animal
shelters in various roles, including administering
temperament tests, evaluating shelter animals for
adoption, and training other volunteers to perform
these tests and evaluations. I worked as an animal
control officer performing various types of field
duties from quarantines, picking up stray animals,
assisting the local police, and educating the public
on proper care and treatment of their pets. I also
was certified in the euthanasia of domestic and
wild animals.
One of the things I discovered while working in
shelters is that two of the top reasons for
surrendering an animal to a shelter are behavorial
problems in the pet and the inability to find rental
housing that will accept pets, especially dogs.
My mission now is to help to keep pets with their
people, improve their relationships and stop them
from loosing their precious homes due to the lack
of housing. And when they become lost or stolen,
I want to return them home again safe and sound!
