David Buckley:
(Part-Time Daycare Attendant):
Dave grew up in his mother's foot steps...living
amongst animal rescue work, obedience training, and a parade of
whatever domestic or wild animal was brought into his home! Dave
literally learned to walk with the help of his first Rottweiler "Jobondae's
Shadow" pulling himself up using her back-side
as his guide. In his
school years he often assisted Bonnie with wildlife lectures and
was always "on-call" during animal control calls. Like his
mother, he is a lifelong animal advocate and your pet's will always be
in kind & knowledged hands with Dave! Dave's four
footed friend is Doug, a "way too cute" Beagle who has a
nose and voice that does not quit! Doug excels on all the agility
equipment and is sure to give all the daycare dog's a run for
their money!
