I strongly believe in the words 'Animals are family'. Ever since a young age animals have been an important part of my life. This led to me taking care of abandoned and stray animals from when I was a teenager and also led to volunteering with the Blue Cross and other non-profit animal organisations. Having adopted dogs as well has given me the necessary exposure to their wants and needs and has increased my love for all animals. Once an animal enters my life he/she definitely becomes a part of my family.
