Meet Marie K.

My life began as a pet lover. A terrier was my first pet who was already a family member when I was born. Then at age 6 I got a kitten of my own named Tiger who allowed me to dress him in my doll clothes and walk him in my stroller. We got a border collie next who went to college with my older brother. As a young adult I lived with lots of roommates and their pets but my first pet of my own in adulthood was a rescued Beagle who loved to hike and he moved with me from CO to Oregon where after 13 years together he passed gently. My NC dog was a Blue Heeler who I got as a puppy but she was sooo high energy and really needed a buddy so she now lives on 26 acres with another heeler to chase. My next dog will be a small rescue who likes to go for walks and cuddle. When not pursuing animal company, I hike and bike with friends and I work part-time selling lighting and electrical supplies. I also enjoy reading and visiting sisters in NC and VA.
