I was born and raised in Georgia. I was very active in the FFA. This is where my love for animals first began. I proudly served my country for 10 years in the United States Navy. I am also the mother of 3 awesome children and 4 spoiled dogs. My goal, along with the staff, is to make sure your dog has the best experience possible here at Urban K9.
