Mel's Pet Pals

Background & Experience:

I have been passionate about animals since I was a young child. Throughout my life I have often rescued lost dogs and cats - not to mention a few wild animals along the way! I have also been a loving mother to both cats and dogs, and a little robin named IckleBickle Robin, that I raised from hatchling to young adulthood. I currently have three pet pals of my own; two dogs, (Daisy and Jasper) and a cat (Nick).

I have been a volunteer with the Minnesota Valley Humane Society in Burnsville, Minnesota, for over 7 years. During this time, I have had the pleasure of working with many dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments while they have been guests at our shelter. However, I love to work with all kinds of animals and look forward to having that opportunity with Mel's Pet Pals. And, yes, I am an avid fan of Animal Planet!
