Hope's Owner
Taylin AndringAfter losing my father figure to a long battle of cancer and muscular dystrophy I decided I wanted to help make people in that situation feel better. I remembered the impact that dogs had on him and the people around him when they would come to visit him. I wanted to do that. So In 2018 I started training dogs to be therapy dogs. My goal is to change the world four legs at a time!
