Helping Animals!

My friend Brook Willis is a vet here in Valdosta. She allowed me to help her on a few calls she had. I would help keep the dogs calm while she had to do what she had to do on them. I love animals so much, and it kills me to see them in pain. In the future, I would like to run my own kennel, and save all of the dogs that need to be rescued.

This is Jack. He got hit by a car, and now has three legs. He is also obese so it is harder for him to get around, but he does fine with what he has!

This is Oakley. He’s a Chihuahua, and is so sweet an smart! He loves doing tricks for treats.

This is Reese's. She was a rescue dog. Her skin was irritated by the pollen and her previous owners did not take care of it, so she lost a

lot of her hair on her back and tail. She is super sweet.

Sophie is an older dog, but she still keeps up with the little puppies. She loves doing tricks as well. If you tell her to

sneeze, she’ll sneeze!

This is Ali. She is a pit-bull and she is my little baby! Brook is her vet, and she takes great care of her. Ali is the sweetest

and cutest puppy there is!

The End!
